* 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: ivory.

What this one asks of you
All 43,200 stitches are full cross stitch: no half stitches and no backstitch to follow.
It has 8,896 lone stitches, 20.6 % of the total, and 3,771 of those have no neighbour of their color at all. The more there are, the more the needle jumps.
