Kindness Band Sampler
Band 2: Smyrna Cross
www.jeanfarish.com

Continue the band sampler with a row of Smyrna Crosses, each one sharing holes with the one next to it. You will have a total of 17 Smyrna Crosses, spanning the width of 34 "squares" on the chart, each one stitched "over four."

Use one strand of Ecru Pearl Cotton, Number 12. In general, pearl cotton is used as a single fiber. When a stitcher wants a heavier stitch, it is usually best to move to the next higher weight, which would be #8.

You will need:
Embroidery scissors
#24 or #22 Tapestry Needle

 Leave two threads unworked between the bottom of the back stitch part of the Floral band and the top of the Smyrna Crosses.
