Kit punto croce contato «Amo l'Ucraina!»

“I love Ukraine!” combines yellow lettering with a blue-and-yellow ornament on black canvas.

What the picture shows

The words “KEEP CALM AND LOVE UKRAINE” arch along the top and bottom of the circle in yellow. Inside is a symmetrical rosette of small stars, diamonds and crosses, with yellow elements alternating with blue as in a traditional embroidered shirt. A trident is stitched in each of the left and right corners — one blue, one yellow. The black canvas is not covered at all, and it is against it that the colours read most brightly. Four floss colours. The central rosette is built out from a single point, so any counting mistake shows at once in the symmetry.

A 150×150 mm format, rated simple — a counted ornament with no shading. The kit includes a decorative hoop, so the piece can stay in it straight away; a frame or moulding is chosen separately. This is one of seven patriotic miniatures in the series — they hold together well on a single wall. The tridents in the corners are stitched first: they set the limits of the whole composition.
