| 22 ct | 8.7 | 23.1 x 28.7 cm | 9.1 x 11.3 in | 39 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.

What this one asks of you
All 49,800 stitches are full cross stitch: no half stitches and no backstitch to follow.
It has 12,055 lone stitches, 24.2 % of the total, and 6,759 of those have no neighbour of their color at all. The more there are, the more the needle jumps.
