By StitchingLab ·

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. 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

  • Cross-stitch charts are worked from a symbol chart, not written rows.
  • Start stitching from the center of the chart and fabric (chart center: column 25, row 25 from bottom-left).
  • Bold gridlines fall every 10 squares.
  • One chart square = one full cross stitch.
