Stitching notes

  • Stitch the white spots before the red so you do not have to squeeze them in afterwards.

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.
