What a great cross stitch pattern this would be to complete for Halloween! Only four colors of floss are needed for this brooding and atmospheric cross stitch pattern. The design measures 160 stitches wide by 110 stitches high. It is printed on a single sheet of cardstock, and the front has a color photo of the finished design. The chart is graphed in black and white symbols. A table showing the DMC colors you'll need is included. This pattern calls for some backstitching and quarter stitches. You can stitch it on whatever evenweave fabric you prefer, of course, but this is a great excuse to try out a mottled grey hand-dyed fabric for the background.
