A bright landscape: the river flows towards the foreground between green meadows and purple mountains, while the band of flowers at the bottom brings in orange, pink and yellow. The narrow upright format keeps the stitching moving along, and the large-square chart suits anyone new to counted cross stitch or anyone who simply prefers symbols that are easy to read.
You stitch on the Aida following the chart, usually with two strands of stranded cotton for the cross stitch and one for the back stitch outlines. A hoop or frame and a small pair of scissors are handy extras; a frame for display is not included and is best chosen once the work is finished, allowing for the spare fabric around the design.
