📦 WHAT YOU GET

One 17 page PDF, supplied in A4 and in US Letter so you can print it wherever you are. Inside:

✔ A colour chart with the symbol printed on top of every stitch, so you can work from colour or from symbols as you prefer.
✔ A black and white symbol chart of the same sheets, for printing cheaply or for reading on a tablet.
✔ A thread list giving the DMC number, the DMC colour name, a printed swatch, the exact number of stitches in that colour and a rounded up skein estimate.
✔ A sheet map showing how the printed sheets join, with the row and column ranges for each one.

🖨️ HOW IT PRINTS

Large charts print across several sheets at about 3mm per stitch, which is the size you can actually work from. Neighbouring sheets share one row or one column so nothing is lost in the join, and the row and column numbers are absolute, so a number means the same stitch on every sheet.

🧵 THREAD

Every colour is a real DMC stranded cotton number with its real DMC name, and a swatch is printed beside it. Nothing is approximate and no shade is invented. Two strands on 14 count is the usual choice. Because the thread list gives the exact stitch count per colour, you can work out what to buy instead of guessing.

🔍 CHARTED WITH CARE

12 colours and not one wasted. The smallest colour in this chart still covers 110 stitches, so there is no confetti of stray single stitches scattered across the cloth. Symbols are picked to stay easy to tell apart, and the most stitched colours get the plainest symbols. Centre lines are marked on the chart, so you can fold your fabric in four and start counting from the middle.

🪡 SKILL LEVEL

Beginner technique, large project. 11,082 stitches, about 35 hours at a steady 300 stitches an hour. Your own pace will differ.

Whole cross stitches only. No fractional stitches, no backstitch, no French knots, no blended threads. If you can count squares and follow a symbol key you can stitch this. It is a long project rather than a difficult one. The shading is done with colour, not with technique.

⚡ INSTANT DOWNLOAD

This is a digital pattern. Nothing is posted to you. As soon as your payment clears, Etsy makes the file available on your Downloads page and emails you the link. If you bought as a guest, use the link in the Etsy confirmation email.

📄 FILE FORMAT

PDF, made to print at 100 percent with no scaling. The charts are vector artwork with the symbol font embedded, so they stay sharp when you zoom in on a tablet, and the symbols are real text rather than a picture of text.

🎨 WHERE THE PICTURE COMES FROM

This is an original Chartloom design, made for this chart as part of our Food Animals series. It is not a reproduction of anyone else's artwork. It was designed the way a chart wants to be designed, in flat areas of colour with bold outlines on a bare ground, so the stitched piece is the artwork rather than an approximation of it.

📋 TERMS OF USE

Stitch this as often as you like for yourself and for gifts, and you may sell finished pieces that you stitched by hand yourself. Please do not resell, share, forward or republish the PDF or the chart images, and please do not include the file in another pattern, bundle or kit.

💬 QUESTIONS

Message the shop before you buy if you are unsure whether this suits your fabric or your eyesight. It is a digital file, so it is easier to answer first than to fix afterwards.
