Stitch Puzzle

AbacusFree cross-stitch pattern

Abacus is a cross-stitch pattern of 25 × 25 stitches from the Toy Workshop album of Stitch Puzzle. It uses 5 DMC colours and 528 whole cross stitches, with no backstitch and no part stitches.

DMC 938 Coffee Brown Ult Dk covers the most cells, 221 stitches (42% of the design). The smallest amount is DMC 702 Kelly Green, with 30 stitches.

On 14-count Aida it measures 1.8 × 1.8 in (4.5 × 4.5 cm) and fits a 4-inch hoop. Cut the fabric at least 6 × 6 in (15 × 15 cm), so you have 2 in to spare on every side.
