Pirate parrotFree cross-stitch pattern

Pirate parrot is a cross-stitch pattern of 23 × 26 stitches from the Pirate Cove album of Stitch Puzzle. It uses 5 DMC colours and 331 whole cross stitches, with no backstitch and no part stitches.

DMC 608 Burnt Orange Bright covers the most cells, 114 stitches (34% of the design). The smallest amount is DMC 444 Lemon Dark, with 32 stitches.

On 14-count Aida it measures 1.6 × 1.9 in (4.2 × 4.7 cm) and fits a 4-inch hoop. Cut the fabric at least 6 × 6 in (15 × 15 cm), so you have 2 in to spare on every side.
