Girls’ Day Out and Walking in the Rain Cross Stitch Patterns

Girls’ Day Out and Walking in the Rain by Joanne Gatenby are two companion cross stitch patterns celebrating children, family, and rainy spring days. Each design has a stitch count of 64W x 86H, with finished sizes of approximately 6″ x 8″ on 11-count fabric, 4¾” x 6¼” on 14-count fabric, or 3¾” x 5″ on 18-count fabric. Designed for experienced beginner cross stitchers, the patterns use full stitches, half stitches for rain and shadow, and black backstitching for outlines and facial details. Skills include chart reading, colour changes, half stitches, backstitching, and fabric count selection.
