Stitching notes
- On dark fabric swap 310 for 413 so the cat still reads.
- Two strands of 310 on 14-count covers well; black floss shows every gap in coverage if you use one.
Use two strands on 14-count Aida and one or two on 18-count. Find the centre of your fabric by folding it in quarters and start from the centre of the chart; the bold lines are every ten stitches.
Buying fabric? Add at least 3 inches on every side for framing: the cross stitch calculator works it out.
