Celebration drumFree cross-stitch pattern

Celebration drum is a cross-stitch pattern of 24 × 23 stitches from the Festival Lights album of Stitch Puzzle. It uses 6 DMC colours and 425 whole cross stitches, with no backstitch and no part stitches.

DMC 938 Coffee Brown Ult Dk covers the most cells, 96 stitches (23% of the design). The smallest amount is DMC 975 Golden Brown Dk, with 35 stitches.

On 14-count Aida it measures 1.7 × 1.6 in (4.4 × 4.2 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.
