Let’s immerse ourselves in the tranquil world of the pond, where seven fascinating creatures live in harmony.

In the middle of the pond we see a frog jumping playfully from one lilypad to another.
Next to him a merrily quacking duck paddles in lazy circles.
Above them a dragonfly flits and enjoys the view of the water glistening in the sun.
Near the water edge a little tadpole tries to move forward with its newly sprouted legs.
Beneath the surface a fish silently chasing the shadows of the creatures above him.
Along the pond’s surface a snail slowly glides from place to place, leaving a beautiful glistening trail.
And at the edge of the pond we see the pond’s guardener, a tall and elegant heron.

The patterns are quick and easy to make and perfect for beginners.
There is also a tutorial included with a step by step guide for all the stitches with clear illustrations.
