Meadow with Butterflies Summer Latch Hook Rug Kit by Orchidea 4252

Stitch Meadow with Butterflies, a latch hook rug kit by Orchidea — two orange butterflies flutter over a meadow of red poppies under a blue sky.

A little stitcher's folklore: small tortoiseshell butterflies lay their eggs on stinging nettles.

Why this kit: pre-cut acrylic yarn bundles and a printed Zweigart canvas mean there is nothing to count, just hook each strand over its colour.

Kit includes: Zweigart canvas printed with the design (4.5-count), 100% acrylic pre-cut yarn in bundles in 18 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 summery rug for a bedroom or hallway.
