Stitching notes
- Try it on navy Aida with white floss (Blanc) and silver tips instead.
- Each arm is identical — stitch one, then count the others from the centre.
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.
