Thanks for the comments. If anyone stitches one out please post a picture.
Perhaps, as it is an APPLIQUE design, once you place your chosen fabric underneath the "arms" it will complete the design! Just a thought?
I just looked again and now I see a that the space looks like arms hugging. Some of them are more obvious than others.
I think it is just an ordinary design, like a version of split designs????wendy
It's not obvious to me. Depending on how the neck stitches out they might be bookmarks.
