Stitch Puzzle

KaleidoscopeFree cross-stitch pattern

Kaleidoscope is a cross-stitch pattern of 28 × 20 stitches from the Little Inventors album of Stitch Puzzle. It uses 5 DMC colours and 344 whole cross stitches, with no backstitch and no part stitches.

DMC 742 Tangerine Light covers the most cells, 97 stitches (28% of the design). The smallest amount is DMC 3803 Mauve Dark, with 50 stitches.

On 14-count Aida it measures 2.0 × 1.4 in (5.1 × 3.6 cm) and fits a 4-inch hoop. Cut the fabric at least 6 × 6 in (16 × 14 cm), so you have 2 in to spare on every side.
