Little Mice Cross Stitch Ornament Kit (Set of 2) by VDV M-0400

Two oval ornaments of little mice: a girl in a red pinafore dress and hair bow carrying a basket of flowers, and a boy in denim overalls with a soccer ball.

Why this kit: 'little mice' is an affectionate name for children in many countries, which makes this pair a sweet family keepsake; linen-colored Aida gives a warm vintage background; two small designs that are quick to finish one at a time.

Kit includes: 100% cotton 16 count Aida in natural linen color, 100% cotton DMC floss in 28 colors, a Pony needle, a black-and-white printed chart with the backstitch shown in color, and a digital copy of the pattern. Each piece measures about 10x13.5 cm (3.94x5.31 in). Made in Ukraine.

Each design is worked in counted cross stitch, following the chart and matching every symbol to its DMC floss color, with the colored backstitch outlines added at the end. The finished pieces can then be made up into small hanging ornaments.

A charming project and a lovely gift for a nursery, a child's room, or new parents.
