European moleFree cross-stitch pattern

European mole is a cross-stitch pattern of 30 × 21 stitches from the Moonlit Hedgerow album of Stitch Puzzle. It uses 4 DMC colours and 384 whole cross stitches, with no backstitch and no part stitches.

DMC 309 Rose Dark covers the most cells, 197 stitches (51% of the design). The smallest amount is DMC 3772 Desert Sand Vy Dk, with 23 stitches.

On 14-count Aida it measures 2.1 × 1.5 in (5.4 × 3.8 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.
