Under the Snow Snowdrops Counted Cross-Stitch Kit by Abris Art AHM-039

Stitch Under the Snow, a floral counted cross-stitch kit by Abris Art — a cluster of delicate white snowdrops pushing up through a frosty blue and lilac background. Worked on 100% cotton Aida in 20 colours of embroidery floss, with soft shading that makes the petals look almost translucent.

A little stitcher's folklore: snowdrops are the first flowers of the year, and in the Victorian language of flowers they stand for hope. There's an old English country rule never to bring cut snowdrops into the house — but stitched ones, needleworkers say, carry all of the hope and none of the bad luck. Stitch them in winter, and spring is already on its way.

Why this kit: if you love florals but want something quieter than a big bouquet, these snowdrops are pure calm to stitch. It's small enough to finish in a few evenings, the hoop is included and doubles as a frame, and it's lovely for beginners. A gentle, hopeful gift for someone who needs one.

Kit includes: 100% cotton Aida canvas, a cross stitch needle, 20 colours of embroidery floss on an organizer, a printed symbol chart, an embroidery hoop, 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 frosty background, then the white petals and green stems.

Finished size: 15×15 cm (5.91×5.91 in). Pretty winter-to-spring decor and a thoughtful gift for flower lovers and gardeners.
