Kit de punto de cruz contado «¿Habéis llamado a Papá Noel?»

“Have you called Santa?” shows three fluffy cats in red hats peering out of a snowfall.

What the picture shows

The cats sit one behind another along a diagonal: the smallest in front, two larger ones behind. Their fur is worked in long stitches of grey, white and blue, so it looks ruffled and thick, and the whiskers shoot out sideways as thin white lines. The eyes are yellow with black pupils, the noses dark, the expressions slightly startled. Each head wears a red hat with a white trim and a pompom, and the smallest one has slipped sideways. A blue-grey fir branch rises at the bottom left and white snowflakes are scattered across the ground. Eighteen floss colours go almost entirely into the fur and the hats. The blue Aida stays as the background and is left unstitched. Tails and paws stay out of frame — only heads and chests fit inside the circle, which brings the animals very close.
