G
et ready for colouring-
in fun – in stitches,
that is! – with this
cuddly crew. These
fuzzy friends are made up of
bold blocks of colours, using
easy whole stitches and nothing
more. They make fantastic first
projects for little ones looking to
take on a new hobby during the
winter break. And once they’ve
stitched them, there’s even
more joy to be had by painting
the hoops to display them in! ●
