Miniature Winter Characters - set of 3

Three small winter portraits — a penguin, a snowman and an owl wrapped up in hats and striped scarves — worked in counted cross stitch, with a few long stitches for the details. The motifs are small and stitch up quickly, which makes them a good Christmas gift or a decoration for the tree or the wall.

The round plastic frames are included in the kit, so the finished pieces can be mounted straight away. An embroidery hoop and a pair of small sharp scissors are useful while you stitch. The Aida has a fine weave: good light, and a magnifier if you like one, make following the chart easier.
