DESIGNED BY MEGAN CAINES
Crystal colour

Enjoy a crystallised display of colours and shapes in designer Megan Caines' distinctive mandala style to welcome the cooler season. This eye-catching little fellow is a joy to stitch with relatively large blocks of bright and beautiful thread, so you can cosy up in your craft corner with some cheerful evening stitching on the dark winter nights.

With 19 different thread shades, this whole stitch only design is great for beginners looking for a holiday gift to send to a friend or loved one or as a display for your own home.

Lisa READER PANEL 

I love this penguin! Meloca Designs patterns are always so vibrant and unusual. My mum would love this as she just adores colours and the penguin looks super-cute. It would look great in her craft room."
