Stitch Puzzle

WrenFree cross-stitch pattern

Wren is a cross-stitch pattern of 25 × 23 stitches from the Meadow Birds album of Stitch Puzzle. It uses 5 DMC colours and 290 whole cross stitches, with no backstitch and no part stitches.

DMC 301 Mahogany Med covers the most cells, 96 stitches (33% of the design). The smallest amount is DMC 718 Plum, with 10 stitches.

On 14-count Aida it measures 1.8 × 1.6 in (4.5 × 4.2 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.
