The Nutcracker Village series consists of 11 designs that will be released consecutively for 11 months.
stitch count of 59 x 71
If the entire series is stitched together, as I show, it has a stitch count of 236w x 217h. Also, if you are stitching the series together, as I show, you will stitch each row of blocks together with no spaces in between, but leave 2 stitches between each of the horizontal rows.
The fabric used for the models is Zweigart’s 32 count Raw/Silver Linen. The designs also use the same threads throughout. If all of the designs are stitched, a total of this many skeins of floss will be needed:
