Measuring tapeFree cross-stitch pattern
Measuring tape is a cross-stitch pattern of 25 × 19 stitches from the Little Workshop album of Stitch Puzzle. It uses 6 DMC colours and 264 whole cross stitches, with no backstitch and no part stitches.
DMC 3799 Pewter Gray Vy Dk covers the most cells, 83 stitches (31% of the design). The smallest amount is DMC 732 Olive Green, with 8 stitches.
On 14-count Aida it measures 1.8 × 1.4 in (4.5 × 3.4 cm) and fits a 4-inch hoop. Cut the fabric at least 6 × 6 in (15 × 14 cm), so you have 2 in to spare on every side.
