Pepper millFree cross-stitch pattern

Pepper mill is a cross-stitch pattern of 14 × 28 stitches from the Spice Shelf album of Stitch Puzzle. It uses 5 DMC colours and 286 whole cross stitches, with no backstitch and no part stitches.

DMC 920 Copper Med covers the most cells, 82 stitches (29% of the design). The smallest amount is DMC 3853 Autumn Gold Dk, with 39 stitches.

On 14-count Aida it measures 1.0 × 2.0 in (2.5 × 5.1 cm) and fits a 4-inch hoop. Cut the fabric at least 5 × 6 in (13 × 16 cm), so you have 2 in to spare on every side.
