HeronFree cross-stitch pattern
Heron is a cross-stitch pattern of 25 × 27 stitches from the Pond Life album of Stitch Puzzle. It uses 7 DMC colours and 262 whole cross stitches, with no backstitch and no part stitches.

On 14-count Aida it measures 1.8 × 1.9 in (4.5 × 4.9 cm) and fits a 4-inch hoop. Cut the fabric at least 6 × 6 in (15 × 16 cm), so you have 2 in to spare on every side.
