Here's how
STEP 1 Tack the horizontal and vertical centre lines of the fabric. Work from the centre out and follow the symbols on the chart to cross-stitch the design. Each square on the chart indicates 1 cross-stitch. Each cross-stitch is worked using 2 strands of Anchor thread over 2 linen threads.

STEP 2 When all cross-stitching is completed, frame as desired.
