I've wanted to design an animal alphabet for quite some time, and I'm so pleased to share it with you!  Each letter includes an animal - some familiar and some more unusual.  (There is a full "cast of characters" list on the back of the chart.)  
 
SPECIAL NOTE: Some early copies of the chart include two different symbols for DMC 3808.  The cover shows a symbol like an X and the chart shows a symbol like a triangle made up of three small circles.  My apologies, and the later printouts have been corrected.
 
The model is stitched on 40 count "Sampler Green" linen from xJudesign.  (The closest DMC comparison for the linen is 471.)  Stitch count is 182 wide x 218 high.
