30 penguin designs - waddles in woolly hats, jolly singles and a penguin worked as a cushion - the most cheerful corner of the winter range.
Penguins are the easiest birds in the box: black-and-white bodies mean big simple colour areas, so they stitch quickly and forgive a first-timer's tension. Mouseloft's little characters lead the range, with Vervaco and Design Works covering the fuller winter scenes.
Counted on aida, threads and chart included. Fair warning for the festive-minded: a couple of these designs shade into Christmas territory, and the full festive range lives in our Christmas department when the season comes round.
