ArmadilloFree cross-stitch pattern

Armadillo is a cross-stitch pattern of 29 × 17 stitches from the Pocket Zoo album of Stitch Puzzle. It uses 5 DMC colours and 337 whole cross stitches, with no backstitch and no part stitches.

DMC 3854 Autumn Gold Med covers the most cells, 96 stitches (28% of the design). The smallest amount is DMC 902 Garnet Very Dark, with 22 stitches.

On 14-count Aida it measures 2.1 × 1.2 in (5.3 × 3.1 cm) and fits a 4-inch hoop. Cut the fabric at least 7 × 6 in (16 × 14 cm), so you have 2 in to spare on every side.
