What's inside

Five Pips march round a 100-stitch hat: each penguin is 17 stitches, plus 3 plain ones in between.

How to use it

  1. Print at actual size (100%) so the stitch shapes stay right.
  2. All three are stranded colorwork with two colors per row. Add the little cheeks, eyes and scarf dots afterwards in duplicate stitch.
  3. Cross stitchers: use the square-grid page. Each critter is 3 to 4 cm across on 14-count Aida, just right for a little hoop ornament.
