The center of the pattern is marked with a bright pink dot.<\/p>\n
Find the color you need from the chart near the center to start, and cut an 18\u201d piece.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Separate the strands so you have 2 for cross stitches.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Stitch from the center and work outward.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Since this pattern has unstitched areas instead of a background, any thread taken across an open area in the back will show through.<\/p>\n Notice that there are a few 3\/4ths stitches around his overalls pocket.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Use one strand of floss to backstitch. Refer to the pattern chart and photo to see how to make each backstitch.<\/p>\n The bird\u2019s eye is a French knot made with 1 thread.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n With two strands of thread, I made a loose stitch across his waist.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Then I came up from one row down and slightly to the right, to catch the belt<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Then went back down where I came up.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n When your stitching is completely finished, if you have used an embroidery hoop or it has gotten dirty:<\/p>\n Hand wash in lukewarm water using a mild liquid soap.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Rinse in cold water.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nStitching<\/u><\/h3>\n
