Sheep from Penguin & Fish is a small, approachable hand embroidery project that's especially well suited to someone learning to stitch.
Part of Penguin & Fish's Farm Animal collection, this sweet sheep design uses four fundamental embroidery stitches to create plenty of texture within a compact project. It's simple enough for a beginner without feeling like a practice exercise once it's finished.
You'll work with backstitch, French knots, fly stitch, and lazy daisy stitch, giving a new embroiderer an opportunity to learn several techniques within a single design. The pattern comes pre-printed directly onto the fabric, so there's no tracing or transferring required.
Everything needed to complete the project is included, from the embroidery floss and needle to the 4-inch hoop. Penguin & Fish also includes detailed instructions, a color and stitch guide, their Embroidery Guide, and a color reference photograph of the finished sheep.
The stitched design measures approximately 2½" x 2¼", leaving a comfortable amount of space around the sheep when displayed in the included hoop.
It's a charming first project for a new embroiderer and an easy gift choice for someone who loves sheep, farms, animals, fiber arts, or country life.
