Magical forest
CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Kateryna - Stitchy Princess

This design by Kateryna, a cross stitch designer based in Ukraine, draws its inspiration in folk tales and nature, and features the magical forest, home of Baba Yaga.

Hear Kateryna tell us about her Baba Yaga:

"Baba Yaga (the Bony Legged Witch) is one of the most famous characters of Slavic folk tales. Sometimes she is shown as ugly and evil but in other tales she is often quite helpful and kind, helping the hero solve their problem. My own Baba Yaga is rather cute, with flowing white hair, a kind smile and not at all scary. She loves cooking her famous mushroom stew."

Baba Yaga's log cabin hut can be seen in the background, with its characteristic "chicken legs".

We love the way the forest comes alive around Baba Yaga, trees that seem to be moving their arm, animals behaving strangely and specially the mysterious green pond: can you spot the mermaids of fairy tales among the frogs and reeds?
