Mexicanita alegre, un encantador diseño de punto de cruz lleno de color y tradición.
Su vestido decorado, sus grandes lazos y su simpática expresión hacen de este patrón una propuesta divertida y entrañable para quienes disfrutan bordando personajes con mucha personalidad.
¡Una pequeña mexicana dispuesta a llenar de alegría cada puntada!

Suggested fabric: ivory.

What this one asks of you
All 11,155 stitches are full cross stitch: no half stitches and no backstitch to follow.
It has 235 lone stitches, 2.1 % of the total, and 4 of those have no neighbour of their color at all. The more there are, the more the needle jumps.
