The Stitching Journey
This design stitches up beautifully in sections — many stitchers enjoy starting with the cosy reds of the hat, then moving into the soft shading of the hair, scarf, and puppy fur. As the snowy background builds, the scene feels even more peaceful, and the gentle colour changes keep the project relaxing and rewarding.
If you’re not keen on backstitch, you can use the included black & white version without backstitch, or simply add the backstitch at the very end as a light finishing touch.
