Kit punto croce contato «Vestito nuovo»

“New dress” shows a sheep trying on a wolf costume, its smiling face peeking out of the grey hood.

What the picture shows

The body is worked in cream and beige curls that read as thick fleece, with a dark grey wolf costume thrown over it — pointed ears, yellow eyes and a black nose. The sheep itself smiles with closed eyes and pink cheeks, and thin white whisker stitches escape from under the hood. An orange handbag with a buckle hangs from its shoulder, and the black boots each carry another wolf muzzle with a yellow eye. The blue Aida works as the background with white snowflakes, and a pale snowdrift of slanted stitches lies along the bottom. Nineteen floss colours go almost entirely into the shaded fleece and the dark costume. The figure stands full length in the middle, from the snowflakes above down to the boots.
