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. As cross-stitch it suits a hoop, a card front, or a mending patch. 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.

Before you start

- Start stitching from the center of the chart and fabric (chart center: column 30, row 30 from bottom-left).
- Bold gridlines fall every 10 squares.
- One chart square = one full cross stitch.
