Hamster Under the Mushroom Autumn Cross Stitch Kit by VDV M-0330

A little hamster sits beneath two large brown porcini mushrooms on a mossy bank, surrounded by lingonberries, orange maple leaves, and wild grass seed heads.

Why this kit: a cute woodland animal paired with realistic mushroom shading; Preciosa beads highlight the red berries; 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 white, 100% cotton DMC floss in 30 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: 20x20 cm (7.87x7.87 in). Made in Ukraine.

Counted cross stitch is worked by following the chart and its symbol key, placing each cross in its marked square on the Aida with the matching floss color, then adding the backstitch outlines shown in color on the chart and sewing on the Preciosa beads where the chart marks them.

A cozy autumn project and a charming gift for animal lovers or a child's room.
