Perfect for adding a personal touch to

a cool kid’s room, this enchanting unicorn

alphabet is brought to life with sparkly

stars and a dreamy rainbow palette

Designed by Emma Congdon

W

e can almost hear the

squeals of delight

coming from children

• and adults! –
  everywhere as they set their eyes
  upon this alphabet and numbers
  set. Emma has captured all the
  fairytale elements we love, bringing
  a gorgeous fantasy feel to each
  and every design. Worked in whole
  stitches with a hint of backstitch for
  some of the stars, these letters and
  numbers are perfect for stitchers of
  all abilities – just take time over the

metallic touches to make sure your

threads don’t get twisted or tangled.

We’ve combined a few letters

to make a name plaque, but

there are so many ways to put

this magical set of characters to

use. A simple birthday card with

the recipient’s initial or name on

it is sure to go down a treat, or try

making personalised party bags for

guests at a unicorn-themed bash.

You could even stitch the whole

alphabet as a stunning centrepiece

for a little one’s room! ●
