| Fabric | 11-count | 14-count | 16-count | 18-count |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Size | 1.8″ × 1.5″ | 1.4″ × 1.1″ | 1.3″ × 1.0″ | 1.1″ × 0.9″ |
| In cm | 4.6 × 3.7 | 3.6 × 2.9 | 3.2 × 2.5 | 2.8 × 2.3 |
One stitcher's note
The spout is loose single stitches above the back — keep them separate and do not connect them into a column; the gaps are the spray.
