How to make your Arcanine cross-stitch
- Find the center of your Aida and the center of the chart, and start there so the design stays centered.
- Work one color at a time, following the symbol chart — each square is one full cross-stitch.
- Use 2 strands of floss over 1 Aida square for solid coverage; match each symbol to its DMC code in the legend.
- Stitch the darkest color last if you want to add a backstitch outline — it makes the sprite pop.
- Mount the finished piece in the hoop, trim, and it’s ready to hang.
Cross-stitch FAQ
It’s 14 squares (stitches) per inch. Higher count = smaller finished piece and finer detail; 14-count is the most beginner-friendly. The finished-size table on this page shows the size at 14, 16, and 18 count.
A single skein of each color is almost always plenty for one sprite — most use only a few feet per color. The legend lists every DMC color and its stitch count.
No. The pattern reads fine as plain cross-stitch. A backstitch outline in the darkest color is optional and just sharpens the edges.
