About the sunflower and tulip cross stitch flower patterns Fabric: Zweigart 16-count white aida measuring 15x15cm (6x6in) for each design Threads: Stranded cotton as listed in the key Needle: Size 24 tapestry needle Extras: Square aperture cards Each design has a stitch count of 60 high x 60 wide and a design area (when stitched on 16 count aida or 32-count evenweave) of 9.5x9.5cm (3¾x3¾in). As these are large designs, if you want to use them for cards we recommend using 16-count aida. If you want to stitch them as a larger project, it is fine to use the more usual 14-count aida.
