The design is already printed on the fabric, so you stitch along the printed lines and colour guides with no counting involved. Only a handful of stitches are needed, repeated throughout, and much of the charm comes from texture: densely packed French knots give the sheep their fleecy bodies, while the flowers and grass are built up with satin, stem and long stitches.
The embroidery ring is included and can stay in place as a frame once you have finished: pull the fabric taut and close the back neatly. Wash the piece gently before hanging it so the printed lines disappear. A good step up for anyone who knows a few basic stitches and wants to combine them.
