Motherhood Puppy Portrait Counted Cross Stitch Kit by RTO M711

Stitch Motherhood Puppy, a counted cross stitch kit by RTO — a cream puppy with brown patches over its eyes and ears rests its chin on its big front paws in green grass and golden wheat, looking up with soft, soulful eyes. Worked in 31 colours of DMC stranded cotton on grey-beige Aida.

A little stitcher's folklore: country folk said a puppy found in the wheat at harvest time would grow up to guard the farm and bring a lucky year. Stitchers say this one is guarding your heart already.

Why this kit: if you love dogs, this gentle puppy portrait is irresistible and a satisfying stitch with lovely fur shading. A perfect gift for dog owners and a new puppy in the family.

Kit includes: 14-count grey-beige Zweigart Aida (100% cotton), DMC stranded cotton in 31 colours, a needle, a colour symbol chart and instructions. A frame and hoop are not included.

Start with the eyes and nose, then build up the brown patches and cream fur. Finish with the grass and wheat under the paws.

Finished size: 20.5×22 cm (8.07×8.66 in). A sweet puppy portrait to frame and a lovely gift for dog lovers.
