Start by centering the pattern on your Aida cloth. Use a pencil or fabric marker to lightly mark the center of the cloth, and then align the center of the pattern with the mark.
Thread your needle with the white embroidery floss. Start stitching in the center of the pattern, and work your way out towards the edges. Use a backstitch to secure your stitches, and be sure to keep your tension even.
As you stitch, be sure to pay attention to the colors and symbols in the pattern. Each color corresponds to a different symbol, and each symbol represents a specific stitch. Refer to the key at the bottom of the pattern to identify the correct stitches.
Once you have completed the cross-stitch portion of the pattern, you can add the finishing touches. Use the black embroidery floss to stitch the gnome's beard and mustache. Use the red embroidery floss to stitch his hat and shoes. And use the green embroidery floss to stitch his coat.
Once you have finished stitching, trim any excess Aida cloth around the edges of the pattern. Then, frame your finished cross-stitch and display it in your home.

Tips

If you are a novice stitcher, start with a smaller cross-stitch pattern. This will help you get the hang of the basics before moving on to more complex patterns.
Be sure to use a sharp needle. A dull needle will make it difficult to stitch through the Aida cloth, and it can also cause your stitches to look uneven.
Keep your tension even. If your stitches are too tight, they will pucker the Aida cloth. If your stitches are too loose, they will look sloppy.
Be patient. Cross-stitch is a time-consuming hobby, but it is also very rewarding. With a little patience and practice, you can create beautiful works of art that will last for years to come.

The Doctor Gnome Counted Cross Stitch pattern is a fun and challenging project for stitchers of all ages. With a little patience and practice, you can create a beautiful work of art that will bring a touch of whimsy and magic to your home.
