Garden gongFree cross-stitch pattern

Garden gong is a cross-stitch pattern of 28 × 26 stitches from the Tea Garden album of Stitch Puzzle. It uses 5 DMC colours and 460 whole cross stitches, with no backstitch and no part stitches.

DMC 783 Topaz Medium covers the most cells, 171 stitches (37% of the design). The smallest amount is DMC 550 Violet Very Dark, with 29 stitches.

On 14-count Aida it measures 2.0 × 1.9 in (5.1 × 4.7 cm) and fits a 4-inch hoop. Cut the fabric at least 6 × 6 in (16 × 15 cm), so you have 2 in to spare on every side.
