Stitch Puzzle

Music boxFree cross-stitch pattern

Music box is a cross-stitch pattern of 24 × 28 stitches from the Bedtime Stories album of Stitch Puzzle. It uses 5 DMC colours and 502 whole cross stitches, with no backstitch and no part stitches.

DMC 304 Red Medium covers the most cells, 166 stitches (33% of the design). The smallest amount is DMC 300 Mahogany Vy Dk, with 62 stitches.

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