Forest animals - Set of 3

Three small woodland portraits — a fawn, a bear cub and a fox — worked in counted cross stitch on Aida, with a few long stitches for the finer details such as blades of grass. The fine count keeps the animals small and crisp, so good light and, if you like, a magnifier make the stitching more comfortable.

Plastic frames are included in the kit, so the three pictures can be hung as soon as they are finished, singly or as a group; in the photograph they are shown together on a log. The set suits anyone with a little needle experience and makes a pleasant gift or a decoration for a child's room.
