Fishing rodFree cross-stitch pattern

Fishing rod is a cross-stitch pattern of 23 × 26 stitches from the Lakeside Weekend album of Stitch Puzzle. It uses 5 DMC colours and 170 whole cross stitches, with no backstitch and no part stitches.

DMC 938 Coffee Brown Ult Dk covers the most cells, 48 stitches (28% of the design). The smallest amount is DMC 3033 Mocha Brown Vy Lt, with 19 stitches.

On 14-count Aida it measures 1.6 × 1.9 in (4.2 × 4.7 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.
