Bothy Threads Penguin Selfie XMAS89 Counted Cross Stitch Kit

Stitch Penguin Selfie, a counted cross stitch kit by Bothy Threads — three penguins in Santa hats crowd in close for a selfie as snow falls around them. A little stitcher's folklore: Adélie penguins court a mate by offering them a carefully chosen pebble. Why this kit: based on original artwork by Julie Oldham from the Autumn Collection 2025, it uses fluffy Lana threads for the hat trims and silver star sequins for sparkle, mounted into an A5 card. Kit includes: 16-count ice blue Zweigart Aida, pre-sorted stranded cottons including fluffy Lana threads, silver star sequins, an A5 card mount and envelope, a needle and a clear stitch diagram and instructions. Stitches used: cross stitch and back stitch. The card mount frames the finished stitching, so no extra frame is needed. Stitch the penguins in cross stitch from the centre, then add the back stitch, woolly trims and star sequins, and mount the finished piece in the card. Finished size: 16×10 cm (6.3×3.9 in). A playful card for penguin lovers.
