Stitching notes
- One colour and straight runs make it ideal for practising counting.
- Stop on a full repeat before turning a corner.
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.
