This design was drawn originally with Anchor colours in my cross stitch design program. Use Anchor threads to get the closest match to the picture. I used a conversion chart to get the DMC numbers.

Please let me know if any colours are off and I will amend them in the chart.

This is a start of a brand new series for me called Kids animal counting. Half of the fun of a counting picture it to be able to count the number shown. So to start with heres an easy one for the kids: One Hippo.

This picture is cushion sized and may look brilliant with other animal themed counting pictures together in a quilt or in a set of pillows. Alternatively just use the hippo picture in a smaller design for someone who loves animals.
