This 50×50 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.

- Bold gridlines fall every 10 squares.
- One chart square = one full cross stitch.
