| 14 ct | 5.5 | 46.1 x 45.4 cm | 18.1 x 17.9 in | 62 x 61 cm |
| 16 ct | 6.3 | 40.3 x 39.7 cm | 15.9 x 15.6 in | 56 x 56 cm |

| 22 ct | 8.7 | 29.3 x 28.9 cm | 11.5 x 11.4 in | 45 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.
