A sample of simple motives

The Guide features many simple yet inspiring motives, especially suitable for beginners. The designs come in styles from all over the world: the geometrical patterns from South America and the elegant shapes from the Far East are easily recognizable. Furthermore, the book offers many much-requested designs such as alphabets, animals, borders and starsigns, all in Eatons wonderful nearly naive style. The charts are handdrawn with colored pencils and are best used in daylight; threadnumbers or fabric instructions are not included.
