Sunflowers on Dark Blue Cross Stitch Kit by VDV M-0374

A small 14x14 cm sunflower design stitched on dark blue 16 count Aida in 8 DMC colors with Preciosa bead accents.

Why this kit: a dark blue Aida background that makes bright colors glow; only 8 DMC colors, so it is quick to finish; everything needed to finish is in the box, from pre-selected DMC floss to a digital copy of the chart.

Kit includes: 100% cotton 16 count Aida in dark blue, 100% cotton DMC floss in 8 colors, Preciosa beads, a Pony needle, a black-and-white printed chart with the backstitch shown in color, and a digital copy of the pattern. Finished size: 14x14 cm (5.51x5.51 in). Made in Ukraine.

The design is stitched by counting from the chart: each symbol marks one cross stitch in a specific floss color, worked square by square across the Aida, with the backstitch details and Preciosa beads added last to sharpen the picture.

A quick project that suits beginners and a small, bright gift.
