When complete, this project will be 20" x 16" actual size. The dog is worked in Long Stitch. You will be able to see where the long stitches begin and end in the diagram. Visit the Long Stitch page for specific instructions on working the stitch. The background is worked in Brick Stitch. Use Ivory or Off-White for the background color.
