Size: approximately 7" X 8".
Materials: One skein of worsted weight cotton in a solid color. The cloth pictured was done in Peaches & Crème in Delft Blue.
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.

k = knit
p = purl
sts. = stitches

I love this design! I am part of a yahoo group, the Handmade Afghans Project and am wondering if you could convert this to where it would come out as a 6 x 9 inch rectangle with the pattern centered. We make afghans for wounded soldiers and this would make a nice addition to the mostly plain squares that are used.
