GiraffeFree cross-stitch pattern

Giraffe is a cross-stitch pattern of 20 × 27 stitches from the Safari Friends album of Stitch Puzzle. It uses 5 DMC colours and 254 whole cross stitches, with no backstitch and no part stitches.

DMC 743 Yellow Med covers the most cells, 97 stitches (38% of the design). The smallest amount is DMC 3857 Rosewood Dark, with 10 stitches.

On 14-count Aida it measures 1.4 × 1.9 in (3.6 × 4.9 cm) and fits a 4-inch hoop. Cut the fabric at least 6 × 6 in (14 × 16 cm), so you have 2 in to spare on every side.
