RhinocerosFree cross-stitch pattern

Rhinoceros is a cross-stitch pattern of 28 × 21 stitches from the Safari Friends album of Stitch Puzzle. It uses 5 DMC colours and 413 whole cross stitches, with no backstitch and no part stitches.

DMC 3042 Antique Violet Light covers the most cells, 211 stitches (51% of the design). The smallest amount is DMC 3802 Antique Mauve Vy Dk, with 22 stitches.

On 14-count Aida it measures 2.0 × 1.5 in (5.1 × 3.8 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.
