The chart
- 47 × 43 stitches, 483 of them worked, the other 1,538 left as bare fabric.
- 2 DMC colours, about 2 skeins in total.
- Whole cross stitches only — no backstitch, no fractional stitches, nothing to unpick at midnight.
Finished size
| Fabric | Inches | Centimetres |
|---|---|---|
| 11-count Aida | 4.3 × 3.9 in | 11 × 10 cm |
| 14-count Aida | 3.4 × 3.1 in | 9 × 8 cm |
| 16-count Aida | 2.9 × 2.7 in | 7 × 7 cm |
| 18-count Aida | 2.6 × 2.4 in | 7 × 6 cm |
Add three inches all round for hooping and framing: on 14-count that means cutting about 10 × 10 inches.
Floss list
| Colour | Name | Stitches | Skeins |

| DMC 336 | Blue | 395 | 1 |
| DMC 3721 | Shell Pink, Dark | 88 | 1 |
Skein counts include a 20% margin, because running out of a dye lot halfway through is the one mistake you cannot stitch your way out of.
