Dimensions Needlecrafts Cottage Enchantment 13687, Counted Cross Stitch Kit, 14 Count Ivory Aida

Cottage Enchantment is a counted cross stitch kit from Dimensions Needlecrafts — a thatched, half-timbered English cottage set in a spring garden, framed by blossoming trees and beds of pink and blue flowers, designed by Andreas Orpinas. Half cross stitch is worked throughout to create a soft watercolor effect, giving the finished 14 x 11 inch piece a painterly, hand-painted look. It frames well as wall art for a living room, bedroom, or entryway.

❓ FAQ

Is the pattern printed on the fabric? No. The Aida fabric is blank — you stitch from the included colour accented symbol chart.

What is the difference between counted and stamped cross stitch? In counted cross stitch the fabric is plain and you follow a chart to place each stitch. Stamped cross stitch has the pattern printed directly on the fabric. This kit is counted.

Do I need to know half cross stitch? The design uses half cross stitch in places to create the soft, watercolor-style shading. The chart marks where it's used, and the technique is straightforward to pick up with the included instructions.
