The design is already painted on the canvas, so there is no counting involved: you simply follow the printed colours, and the large holes combined with thick yarn make the work grow quickly. It suits anyone picking up cross stitch for the first time, and children can stitch it with a little help.
What you finish is the front panel of the cover only: the pad and the backing fabric are not included and need to be bought separately, along with sewing thread to make up the cushion. The stitched panel can also be framed or used as a wall piece. Press it from the back on a soft cloth before making it up.
