WoodlouseFree cross-stitch pattern

Woodlouse is a cross-stitch pattern of 24 × 19 stitches from the Bug Hotel album of Stitch Puzzle. It uses 5 DMC colours and 294 whole cross stitches, with no backstitch and no part stitches.

DMC 317 Pewter Gray covers the most cells, 151 stitches (51% of the design). The smallest amount is DMC 550 Violet Very Dark, with 14 stitches.

On 14-count Aida it measures 1.7 × 1.4 in (4.4 × 3.4 cm) and fits a 4-inch hoop. Cut the fabric at least 6 × 6 in (15 × 14 cm), so you have 2 in to spare on every side.
