Butterfly Garden Latch Hook Rug Kit by Orchidea 4238

Stitch Butterfly, a latch hook rug kit by Orchidea — a blue butterfly hovers over pink and white anemones on an oval rug.

A little stitcher's folklore: the brilliant blue of many butterflies comes from the structure of their scales, not from pigment.

Why this kit: latch hook is relaxing and easy to learn, and the chunky pre-cut yarn builds a soft, shaggy pile quickly.

Kit includes: Zweigart canvas printed with the design (4.5-count), 100% acrylic pre-cut yarn in bundles in 19 colours, a latch hook tool, a chart and instructions. Technique: latch hook. Backing and fixings are not included.

Knot each pre-cut strand onto the printed canvas with the latch hook, working row by row from the bottom so the pile lies neatly.

Finished size: 50×74.5 cm (19.7×29.3 in). A pretty oval rug for a bedroom.
