Skill rating:
Ideal for beginners in Hardanger wishing to expand their skills in cutting and filling stitches. Needlewomen with a little experience of counted thread stitches and confident cross stitchers seeking to expand their horizons and learn new stitch techniques could also attempt this piece as we have taken great care to write very detailed step-by step instructions, with easy to follow stitch diagrams, for all the speciality needlework stitches involved.
A basic knowledge of Hardanger work would be useful but not essential.
