In this cross-stitch pattern, a white sheep is enjoying pink spring flowers while a bee buzzes past and birds flock nearby.
As stitched, the pattern uses shades of white, brown, pink, yellow and green. It features a sheep with a heart who is standing on a hill along with some flowers, birds, and even a few teeny toadstools.
PATTERN DETAILS:
This design suggests threads from Classic Colorworks and DMC. DMC alternatives are given for the Classic Colorworks threads. The pattern uses whole stitches only. The model is stitched over 2 on 32 Count Pearl Gray Belfast Linen using 2 ply thread. The stitch count is 72w x 87h and measures approximately 4 1/2"w x 5 1/2"h when stitched on 32 count/equivalent.
A LITTLE FABRIC ADVICE:
There is a lot of white in this pattern that will not show well if you stitch on a white or very light colored fabric. I strongly recommend you use fabric that is dark enough to make the white stand out. I recommend at least mid-tones, but black or charcoal gray would be adorable too!
Happy Stitching!
