Free Cross Stitch Mystery Pattern - Duh One

From Connie G. Barwick, former About.com Guide

A Duh is chart that is designed to stimulate your imagination. Elements of the finished pattern are left out so that you may either create your own design using the pieces. You may also play along by guessing what the chart is and wait for the entire pattern to be revealed before you stitch it.

All the colors used in the design are included in the partial reveal of the pattern, but some of the elements are not revealed in whole.

What can you create from these elements? Share project photos. These can be photos of stitched projects or of the design created with a pattern software or hand drawn.

Deadline for Entries: February 28, 2011.
