The numbers
Size by fabric count
| Count | Stitches/cm | The design | In inches | Fabric to buy * |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11 ct | 4.3 | 34.6 x 76.4 cm | 13.6 x 30.1 in | 51 x 92 cm |
| 14 ct | 5.5 | 27.2 x 60.1 cm | 10.7 x 23.6 in | 43 x 76 cm |
| 16 ct | 6.3 | 23.8 x 52.5 cm | 9.4 x 20.7 in | 40 x 69 cm |
| 18 ct | 7.1 | 21.2 x 46.7 cm | 8.3 x 18.4 in | 37 x 63 cm |
| 20 ct | 7.9 | 19.1 x 42.0 cm | 7.5 x 16.6 in | 35 x 58 cm |
| 22 ct | 8.7 | 17.3 x 38.2 cm | 6.8 x 15.0 in | 33 x 54 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 49,650 stitches are full cross stitch: no half stitches and no backstitch to follow.
It has 17,421 lone stitches, 35.1 % of the total, and 12,370 of those have no neighbour of their color at all. The more there are, the more the needle jumps.
