Fountain penFree cross-stitch pattern

Fountain pen is a cross-stitch pattern of 26 × 24 stitches from the Artist's Desk album of Stitch Puzzle. It uses 7 DMC colours and 176 whole cross stitches, with no backstitch and no part stitches.

DMC 336 Navy Blue covers the most cells, 63 stitches (36% of the design). The smallest amount is DMC 169 Pewter Light, with 8 stitches.

On 14-count Aida it measures 1.9 × 1.7 in (4.7 × 4.4 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.
