How precious is this! Can't you just see this adorable dragon-themed birth sampler hanging on the wall of your baby's nursery? The text reads: "Once upon a magic time, into our lives there came, a tiny bundle of mischief to cradle and bless with a name." The pattern can be personalized with baby's name, birthdate, and weight.
This dragon cross stitch design measures 90 stitches wide by 120 stitches high. It is printed in a multi-page leaflet, with a color picture of the completed design on the cover. The chart is graphed in black and white symbols. A table showing the DMC colors you'll need is included. The pattern itself is printed on a single folded sheet, so there is no need to match page edges. This adorable dragon cross stitch design was created by Jennifer L. Aikman-Smith, of Dragon Dreams.
This is a pattern for counted cross stitch. It is not a complete kit. You will need to supply your own fabric and floss. We are not able to offer digital downloads of our patterns at this time.
How much fabric do I need?
To calculate the amount of fabric you will need for your project, divide the number of stitches by the stitch count of the fabric you wish to use. The higher the count of your fabric, the smaller your piece will be. Some examples appear below. Remember to leave several additional inches as a border on each side, to facilitate framing your project when it is finished.
Fabric count | Approximate size of stitched area |
---|
14-count | 6 1/2" × 8 1/2" |
18-count | 5" × 6 3/4" |
25-count | 3 1/2" × 4 3/4" |
