The numbers
Size by fabric count
| Count | Stitches/cm | The design | In inches | Fabric to buy * |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11 ct | 4.3 | 43.9 x 57.7 cm | 17.3 x 22.7 in | 60 x 74 cm |
| 14 ct | 5.5 | 34.5 x 45.4 cm | 13.6 x 17.9 in | 50 x 61 cm |
| 16 ct | 6.3 | 30.2 x 39.7 cm | 11.9 x 15.6 in | 46 x 56 cm |
| 18 ct | 7.1 | 26.8 x 35.3 cm | 10.6 x 13.9 in | 43 x 51 cm |
| 20 ct | 7.9 | 24.1 x 31.8 cm | 9.5 x 12.5 in | 40 x 48 cm |
| 22 ct | 8.7 | 21.9 x 28.9 cm | 8.6 x 11.4 in | 38 x 45 cm |
* The fabric to buy allows 8 cm on each side for the hoop and the frame. The highlighted row is 14-count, the most common: the pattern has the same number of stitches on every fabric, what changes is how big each one is.
Suggested fabric: white.

* The skeins are a guide: they assume about 1,700 stitches per skein with two strands on 14-count, rounded up. Finer thread goes further, doubled thread goes less far.
What this one asks of you
All 47,500 stitches are full cross stitch: no half stitches and no backstitch to follow.
It has 14,000 lone stitches, 29.5 % of the total, and 6,468 of those have no neighbour of their color at all. The more there are, the more the needle jumps.
