Fire engineFree cross-stitch pattern

Fire engine is a cross-stitch pattern of 26 × 20 stitches from the Happy Helpers album of Stitch Puzzle. It uses 5 DMC colours and 438 whole cross stitches, with no backstitch and no part stitches.

DMC 938 Coffee Brown Ult Dk covers the most cells, 149 stitches (34% of the design). The smallest amount is DMC 519 Sky Blue, with 27 stitches.

On 14-count Aida it measures 1.9 × 1.4 in (4.7 × 3.6 cm) and fits a 4-inch hoop. Cut the fabric at least 6 × 6 in (15 × 14 cm), so you have 2 in to spare on every side.
