Needlepoint Shoppea Cross Stitch Pattern by Kooler Design Studio

Kooler Designs are well done charts and easy to read. They are a black and white pattern with colors for backstitching. The pattern calls for 3 strands but I always use only 2 and it works out great. I think 3 would make the backstitiching hard to do. Lots of color in this one. Multiple skeins of several colors are needed so order the pattern first so you know what skeins you need. ECS doesn't tell you when you need more than 1. I make copies of the pattern and use colored pencils to mark where I have stitched. Works great
