The numbers

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11 ct | 4.3 | 46.2 x 55.4 cm | 18.2 x 21.8 in | 62 x 71 cm |
| 14 ct | 5.5 | 36.3 x 43.5 cm | 14.3 x 17.1 in | 52 x 60 cm |
| 16 ct | 6.3 | 31.8 x 38.1 cm | 12.5 x 15.0 in | 48 x 54 cm |
| 18 ct | 7.1 | 28.2 x 33.9 cm | 11.1 x 13.3 in | 44 x 50 cm |
| 20 ct | 7.9 | 25.4 x 30.5 cm | 10.0 x 12.0 in | 41 x 46 cm |
| 22 ct | 8.7 | 23.1 x 27.7 cm | 9.1 x 10.9 in | 39 x 44 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.

What this one asks of you
All 48,000 stitches are full cross stitch: no half stitches and no backstitch to follow.
It has 11,173 lone stitches, 23.3 % of the total, and 5,047 of those have no neighbour of their color at all. The more there are, the more the needle jumps.
