Garden gnomeFree cross-stitch pattern

Garden gnome is a cross-stitch pattern of 21 × 35 stitches from the Spring Garden album of Stitch Puzzle. It uses 6 DMC colours and 492 whole cross stitches, with no backstitch and no part stitches.

DMC 938 Coffee Brown Ult Dk covers the most cells, 175 stitches (36% of the design). The smallest amount is DMC 869 Hazelnut Brown V Dk, with 43 stitches.

On 14-count Aida it measures 1.5 × 2.5 in (3.8 × 6.3 cm) and fits a 4-inch hoop. Cut the fabric at least 6 × 7 in (14 × 17 cm), so you have 2 in to spare on every side.
