A winged cherub playing a flute, worked in just a few shades of sepia and grey: a classic design that suits a bedroom or a romantic grouping of small framed pieces. The threads come ready sorted by colour on a labelled organiser, so you can start stitching straight away.
Counted cross stitch means following the chart square by square; 14 count Aida has a clearly visible weave and is one of the easiest counts to work on. A hoop or small frame and a pair of embroidery scissors are useful additions. The frame shown in the photo is not included: the finished piece can be framed or mounted on a small board.
