Squared Tablecloth - Foxes in Autumn

A square tablecloth, already hemmed, with four groups of foxes playing among maple leaves, ferns and berries: an autumn motif that suits a wooden table or a sideboard. The design is printed straight onto the fabric, so there is no counting involved: you stitch over the printed colours, which disappear in the first wash.

Besides cross stitch, a few simple outline stitches are used for the finer details, all explained in the instructions. A hoop or frame helps keep the fabric taut while you work. The centre is left plain, so the area to be embroidered is much smaller than the overall size suggests.
