| 22 ct | 8.7 | 23.1 x 15.8 cm | 9.1 x 6.2 in | 39 x 32 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 27,400 stitches are full cross stitch: no half stitches and no backstitch to follow.
It has 9,554 lone stitches, 34.9 % of the total, and 5,664 of those have no neighbour of their color at all. The more there are, the more the needle jumps.
