White Owl Cross Stitch Pattern

A moonlit garden serves as the perfect backdrop for this nocturnal visitor. With wings spread wide, the snowy white owl glides in for a landing among the fragrant flowers. The White Owl cross stitch pattern is based on artwork from Kayomi Harai.

The White Owl Cross Stitch Pattern measures 300 stitches wide by 215 stitches high. The cross stitch pattern spans 18 pages, and is printed single-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.

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	21 ½" × 15 ¼"
18-count	16 ¾" × 11"
25-count	12" × 8 ½"
