Outlines

Stitch the outline in below, using white (066) Pepperpot Silk. In this stitch, all stitches that slant in the same direction will bo on intersections that have the same thread (horizontal or vertical) on top. Because of this characteristic, you do not have to stitch the entire outline at once.

Do not stitch the mouth, it will be stitched later.

Do not stitch the whiskers or the crosses around the violet patch, they are added at the end with the embellishments.

Nose

Stitch the nose in Hawthorn, below, using four strands of pink (1222) Planet Earth 6-strand.

Come back next Sunday for the next patch!
