This 60×60 chart finishes at roughly 4×4 inches in 14-count Aida, using 2 colors — a clean two-color project — a good first counted chart. Stitched on Aida it frames up as hoop art, or works as a patch on a jacket back. The grid, materials estimate, and written row-by-row instructions below are all free; open the chart in the editor to resize it or swap the palette to yarns you already own.

14-Count White Aida Cloth
14-count is the standard the chart assumes — one stitch per square, big enough to see, fine enough for detail. — 60×60 stitches on 14-count is 4.3×4.3 in
- Buy on Amazon →
DMC Six-Strand Embroidery Floss Set
The chart names DMC colors by number — a genuine DMC multi-skein pack means the numbers on the page match the thread in your hand. — 2 colors in the chart
- Buy on Amazon →
Embroidery Hoop (6–8 in)
Keeps the Aida taut so every cross sits square and your tension stays even across the piece.
- Buy on Amazon →
Tapestry Needles
Blunt-tip needles for weaving in the ends every color change leaves behind.
- Buy on Amazon →
Locking Stitch Markers
Mark pattern repeats, color-section starts, and the first stitch of the round so a miscount never survives a row.
- Buy on Amazon →
Sharp Yarn Snips
Small, sharp snips cut yarn clean at every color change — cleaner joins and easier weaving-in than scissors.
