Calculating Material Required To calculate the material required you need to use the number of stitches of the pattern. Each of my patterns will state how many stitches the pattern is.To get the dimensions you divide the number of stitches by the count of the material So for this pattern : On 14 count you would need: 7x14 Inches (17x34cm) of Aida/Hardanger On 18 count you would need: 6x11 Inches (13x26cm) of Aida/Hardanger On 20 count you would need: 5x10 Inches (12x24cm) of Aida/Hardanger NB: It is advisable to allow a 3" border all around. So add 6" (ie. 3" top and 3" bottom) to the width and height of the pattern. It is also assumed that you are stitching over 1 for these calculations.
