a new start

after the success from my previous petei finish, i decided to capitalize and immediately start my next petei kit. 

i quickly stitched through the face and moved onto the top of the hat and mittens (kalem variations in burmilana)

next came the coat. a long cross in petite very velvet was the first layer, followed by the fern stitch in burmilana. the outer layers of the coat are the knotted stitch in alternating directions. 

he's all bundled up and ready for his buttons and turkey work fur!
