Stitch a coastal seagull perched on a piling with a string of colorful bunting in its beak, with this counted cross stitch kit -- a cheerful, beach-ready design.

This design comes from RTO, a cross stitch brand based in Estonia with 30 years of experience in needlework. Known for detailed, artfully composed kits, RTO is a great choice for stitchers looking to sink into a more involved, rewarding project.

Kit includes:

• DMC embroidery floss, pre-sorted (13 colors)
• 14-count light blue Aida fabric
• Easy-to-read printed chart
• John James embroidery needle
• Clear step-by-step instructions
• Full-color reference photo of the finished design

This is a medium-skill-level project; finished, it measures approximately 12 x 11 cm (4.72" x 4.33").
