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 25, row 25 from bottom-left).
- Bold gridlines fall every 10 squares.
- One chart square = one full cross stitch.
