Mother’s Day cards key

“These delicate floral

designs are sure to go

down well with any mum

• they’ll appreciate the

effort and love you’ve

put into every stitch. You

could try adapting the

greetings to make them

suitable for other loved

ones and occasions, too.”

Heather Nugent, Charting Editor

Bring the needle out again

one stitch to the left at (3), and
