Flying squirrelFree cross-stitch pattern

Flying squirrel is a cross-stitch pattern of 29 × 26 stitches from the Moonlit Hedgerow album of Stitch Puzzle. It uses 4 DMC colours and 438 whole cross stitches, with no backstitch and no part stitches.

DMC 738 Tan Very Light covers the most cells, 193 stitches (44% of the design). The smallest amount is DMC 718 Plum, with 6 stitches.

On 14-count Aida it measures 2.1 × 1.9 in (5.3 × 4.7 cm) and fits a 4-inch hoop. Cut the fabric at least 7 × 6 in (16 × 15 cm), so you have 2 in to spare on every side.
