PincushionFree cross-stitch pattern
Pincushion is a cross-stitch pattern of 21 × 24 stitches from the Sewing Basket album of Stitch Puzzle. It uses 3 DMC colours and 330 whole cross stitches, with no backstitch and no part stitches.
DMC 606 Orange-Red Bright covers the most cells, 194 stitches (59% of the design). The smallest amount is DMC 3826 Golden Brown, with 14 stitches.
