Egg-coverer bag: Chick on chocolate egg

A little egg-cosy bag to work in counted cross stitch: a yellow chick peeps over a chocolate egg tied with a gingham ribbon, among tufts of grass and red bands along the hem. The bag comes ready made, with its red drawstring cord, and slips over an egg in its cup.

Counted cross stitch is worked from a chart, counting the squares of the fabric; at 18 count the weave is fine, so the stitching is small and crisp and suits anyone with a little experience, ideally in good light. The egg cup in the photo is not part of the product. Once finished it makes a decoration for the Easter table or a charming way to present a chocolate egg as a gift.
