Warmth in Palms Robin Counted Cross Stitch Kit by RTO M695

Stitch Warmth in Palms, a counted cross stitch kit by RTO — a little robin with a bright orange breast rests calmly in an open hand drawn in fine lines. Worked in 16 colours of DMC stranded cotton on 16-count white Aida.

A little stitcher's folklore: a robin coming close is said to mean a loved one is near, and a bird resting in your hand is a sign of trust and good luck. Stitchers say this one brings comfort.

Why this kit: if you love garden birds and tender designs, this robin is quick, gentle and meaningful. A lovely gift for bird lovers or a thoughtful memorial gift.

Kit includes: 16-count white Zweigart Aida (100% cotton), DMC stranded cotton in 16 colours, a needle, a colour symbol chart and instructions. A frame and hoop are not included.

Start with the robin's orange breast and eye, then the green-brown feathers. Finish with the fine outline of the hand.

Finished size: 16.5×8.5 cm (6.5×3.35 in). A tender bird picture to frame and a heartfelt handmade gift.
