Stitch this pattern

Find the center of the fabric by folding it in four, then count the squares from the center of the pattern: each square of the chart is one cross, and the symbol tells you the floss. Stitch all the crosses of one color before moving to the next.

To pair it with a name or a date, the cross stitch name tool gives you the chart of the letters; the floss converter finds the equivalent of each DMC floss in Anchor, Madeira or Sullivans.
