GingerbreadFree cross-stitch pattern

Gingerbread is a cross-stitch pattern of 20 × 24 stitches from the Holidays album of Stitch Puzzle. It uses 3 DMC colours and 300 whole cross stitches, with no backstitch and no part stitches.

DMC 3826 Golden Brown covers the most cells, 186 stitches (62% of the design). The smallest amount is DMC 437 Tan Light, with 22 stitches.

On 14-count Aida it measures 1.4 × 1.7 in (3.6 × 4.4 cm) and fits a 4-inch hoop. Cut the fabric at least 6 × 6 in (14 × 15 cm), so you have 2 in to spare on every side.
