The symbol chart
This is the chart you stitch from: one symbol per DMC color, bold lines every ten stitches. Print it, or keep this page open while you work.
Thread key
Stitch counts per color and the skeins to buy on 14-count Aida with two strands.
| Symbol | DMC | Color | Stitches | Skeins |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| W | DMC White | White | 26 | 1 |
Finished size
Stitches divided by your fabric count. Cut the fabric with about 3 inches spare on every side.
| Fabric | 11-count | 14-count | 16-count | 18-count |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Size | 1.5″ × 1.5″ | 1.1″ × 1.1″ | 1.0″ × 1.0″ | 0.9″ × 0.9″ |
| In cm | 3.7 × 3.7 | 2.9 × 2.9 | 2.5 × 2.5 | 2.3 × 2.3 |
One stitcher's note
The stripes run in two-row bands: check the color at the start of every new band, because a band in the wrong color is visible from across the room.
