Tender Feelings Elephants Counted Cross-Stitch Kit by Abris Art AH-102

Stitch Tender Feelings, a counted cross-stitch kit by Abris Art — two elephants covered in bright floral patterns, one in pinks and one in greens and yellows, touch trunks among flowers, butterflies and a little teal bow, framed by a garland of golden leaves. Worked on white 14-count cotton Aida in 26 colours of embroidery floss.

A little stitcher's folklore: elephants are among the luckiest animals of all — in many homes they're placed to face the door and welcome good fortune in. Needleworkers add their own rule: stitch in pairs and love stays close. Two elephants nose to nose is a wish for a love that never forgets.

Why this kit: if you love cheerful, colourful designs, these patterned elephants are a joy to stitch. It's a compact project, great for confident beginners, and a sweet gift for a couple, a new baby's room or an elephant lover.

Kit includes: white 14-count cotton Aida canvas, a cross stitch needle, 26 colours of cotton floss on an organizer card, a printed symbol chart, and instructions in 8 languages.

Counted cross stitch is worked by following the symbol chart and placing each cross on the Aida grid with the matching floss colour. Stitch the two elephants, then the flowers, butterflies and leaf garland.

Finished size: 16×24 cm (6.3×9.45 in). Cheerful wall art and a thoughtful gift for couples or nurseries.
