Eva M Black cats

A scatter of black cat faces, each with its own expression, worked in cross stitch on Aida; outlines and whiskers are finished in back stitch, which gives the design its fine lines. With only two colours the stitching moves along quickly, and the large-square chart is easy to read even on a first counted project.

The round plastic hoop is included, so it can be used both for stitching and for displaying the finished piece, with no frame needed. All you need to add is a small pair of scissors. A good choice for beginners, including older children, and a gift idea for cat lovers.
