Horned lizardFree cross-stitch pattern

Horned lizard is a cross-stitch pattern of 28 × 24 stitches from the Terrarium Friends album of Stitch Puzzle. It uses 5 DMC colours and 404 whole cross stitches, with no backstitch and no part stitches.

DMC 728 Topaz covers the most cells, 145 stitches (36% of the design). The smallest amount is DMC 550 Violet Very Dark, with 10 stitches.

On 14-count Aida it measures 2.0 × 1.7 in (5.1 × 4.4 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.
