Dear Rat Boy Pattern Request

[horrorjunkie]

Hi all! Would someone be willing to help me turn this into a cross stitch pattern? Preferably on 14 ct aida cloth and shouldn't be too many colors, I don't think.



I just thought of the idea and want to give it as a gift with dear rat boy around him with maybe like a circular flower border and would love to make it happen. I really, really appreciate any help with this request! <3

I did a basic pattern for this one, its around 75 x 100 stitches (roughly 5.3" x 7.2" on 14ct). It could be shrunk a bit further if you don't mind back-stitch for all the black line-work. What size did you have in mind?

That looks so good, thank you so much! I don’t mind back stitching if you think it could be shrunk down to about 4”x6”? Otherwise, this is great, and I really appreciate it!

Scaled down to roughly 4.7" x 3.9" (depending how even your canvas is - 53 x 69 stitches). It looks a little scruffy around the edges, so you may want to do half stitches there, or make it consistently scruffy :p
If its still not quite what you are after you can always trace/draw/copy/transfer the original image onto your canvas and fill in the colours. That's basically what I have tried to do with the back-stitch outline.

Anyway I'm off for Christmas now, so if you need anything altered someone else may be able to take over it.

Thanks for everything! I ended up using the bigger version after all and am working hard/quickly to get it done in time for Christmas haha. Thanks so much!

[Pyper]

No worries! Did you get it done in time? That's a pretty tight timeframe

[horrorjunkie]

I did not haha, but I still got it done pretty quickly!

It looks fantastic!
