NightcapFree cross-stitch pattern

Nightcap is a cross-stitch pattern of 26 × 21 stitches from the Bedtime Stories album of Stitch Puzzle. It uses 7 DMC colours and 367 whole cross stitches, with no backstitch and no part stitches.

DMC 322 Baby Blue Dark covers the most cells, 111 stitches (30% of the design). The smallest amount is DMC 3766 Peacock Blue Light, with 12 stitches.

On 14-count Aida it measures 1.9 × 1.5 in (4.7 × 3.8 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.
