Stitch Puzzle

StorybookFree cross-stitch pattern

Storybook is a cross-stitch pattern of 29 × 20 stitches from the Bedtime Stories album of Stitch Puzzle. It uses 7 DMC colours and 524 whole cross stitches, with no backstitch and no part stitches.

DMC 677 Old Gold Vy Lt covers the most cells, 156 stitches (30% of the design). The smallest amount is DMC 3857 Rosewood Dark, with 32 stitches.

On 14-count Aida it measures 2.1 × 1.4 in (5.3 × 3.6 cm) and fits a 4-inch hoop. Cut the fabric at least 7 × 6 in (16 × 14 cm), so you have 2 in to spare on every side.
