Man’s best buddy

Say howdy to ‘Buddy. Armed

and Dangerous’ (J-7172) in his

cowboy hat and neckerchief! At

20.5x27cm (8x10¾in), experienced

stitchers will enjoy

working on this

vigilant pup. The

kit from PANNA*

(€22.72, approx.

£19.23), includes

16-count black aida,

pre-sorted threads,

a needle, chart

and instructions.

Feline cheeky

Peeping between the petals, this

naughty kitten has found his way

to the bottom of a flower pot.

You can get your paws on ‘Magic

Needle Flower Kitten Cross Stitch

Kit’ from

LoveCrafts*

for £7.45.

It measures

12x12cm

(6x6in) and

makes an

ideal gift for

anyone who

is cat crazy.

Beginner bunny

For £2.90 you can nab this cute

little ‘Rabbit Cross Stitch’ from

Ringcat*. Sized at 3.5x5.5cm

(1½x2½in) when stitched on

14-count aida, and using just

seven colours in whole stitches

and backstitch, this’ll be a sweet

and satisfying stitch.

The downloadable

PDF includes

instructions,

with both

colour and

black-and-

white charts.
