Pond skaterFree cross-stitch pattern

Pond skater is a cross-stitch pattern of 27 × 18 stitches from the Pond Life album of Stitch Puzzle. It uses 7 DMC colours and 211 whole cross stitches, with no backstitch and no part stitches.

DMC 938 Coffee Brown Ult Dk covers the most cells, 52 stitches (25% of the design). The smallest amount is DMC 3804 Cyclamen Pink Dark, with 17 stitches.

On 14-count Aida it measures 1.9 × 1.3 in (4.9 × 3.3 cm) and fits a 4-inch hoop. Cut the fabric at least 6 × 6 in (16 × 14 cm), so you have 2 in to spare on every side.
