Moon Dragon Cross Stitch Pattern

Nestled comfortably in the arms of the new moon, this blue dragon is keeping a watchful eye on the world below. No need for him to fly beneath the clouds. His world is above, in a realm of fantasy and enchantment. As the perfect finishing touch, simple Celtic knots, crescents, and pentacles appear in each corner.

The Moon Dragon Cross Stitch Pattern is based on artwork by Lisa Parker. The design measures 350 stitches wide by 353 stitches high. The cross stitch pattern spans 28 pages, and is printed double-sided, on unbound sheets in a clear plastic bag for protection. There is a color picture of the completed chart on the front page. The pattern itself is graphed in black and white symbols, and a table showing the DMC colors you'll need is included. This is a massive project that will provide you with many hours of enjoyment. It is not the best choice for beginners, but for the experienced stitcher, this will be an exciting challenge. Copyright - Heaven and Earth Designs, Inc.

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.
