The numbers

| Count | Stitches/cm | The design | In inches | Fabric to buy * |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11 ct | 4.3 | 46.2 x 38.6 cm | 18.2 x 15.2 in | 62 x 55 cm |
| 14 ct | 5.5 | 36.3 x 30.3 cm | 14.3 x 11.9 in | 52 x 46 cm |
| 16 ct | 6.3 | 31.8 x 26.5 cm | 12.5 x 10.4 in | 48 x 43 cm |
| 18 ct | 7.1 | 28.2 x 23.6 cm | 11.1 x 9.3 in | 44 x 40 cm |
| 20 ct | 7.9 | 25.4 x 21.2 cm | 10.0 x 8.4 in | 41 x 37 cm |
| 22 ct | 8.7 | 23.1 x 19.3 cm | 9.1 x 7.6 in | 39 x 35 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 33,400 stitches are full cross stitch: no half stitches and no backstitch to follow.
It has 8,723 lone stitches, 26.1 % of the total, and 4,554 of those have no neighbour of their color at all. The more there are, the more the needle jumps.
