Size:  approximately 9 ½" X 7 ¾".

Materials:  One skein of worsted weight cotton in a solid color (approximately 98 yards).  The cloth pictured was done in Peaches & Crème in Butterscotch.

Needles:  U.S. Size 6/4.0mm or 5/3.75mm  Because this is a “picture” cloth, you want your fabric to be fairly dense so the design will pop out.  If you are a loose knitter, then you might want to drop down a needle size.

Gauge:  4.5 sts. per inch, not critical. 

Abbreviations:

k = knit

p = purl

sts. = stitches

Pattern:  Cast on 37 sts.
