Chat et Potiron

A tabby kitten perched on a large pumpkin in front of a blue wooden door, surrounded by leaves and small yellow flowers: a warm autumn scene with plenty of grey, green and orange shades that give softness to the fur and depth to the background.

The design is worked in counted cross stitch following the chart, and the threads come already sorted by colour so you can start straight away. The 14 count Aida has a clear, easy-to-count weave, so the kit suits stitchers with some practice as well as confident beginners tackling a shaded subject. A hoop and good light help; the frame shown in the photo is not included.
