Errata:

  • Count 60 squares down from top and 46 stitches left from right edge, in between the curtain and its gold border there is a quarter stitch with no symbol. The picture suggests this should be "Z" or "W", take your pick.
  • On the window scene. there is a "circle" symbol that should be a "2" symbol.
  • Between the gold tassel at the left of the pillow and the bench cushion, there is a square containing two quarter stitches. The top right is a "Z" while the bottom left is shown as a "S". I think this should be a "3". Putting an S here makes a 1/4 stitch of that color in the middle of nowhere (& I hate to stitch those).
  • Where the hair meets the ground, by the little curl, count 31 stitches from left and 6 from bottom. There is a square with two quarter stitches. The top right symbol is a "circle with a horizontal line through the center" and the lower left is an "open circle". This should be a solid circle (890/500).
  • In the middle of the castle, a little below the line of backward L 's, there is an arrow pointing to the bottom right hand corner. This should have been another backward L.
  • Just to the left of the poof sleeve on the gown, there is a stray X (perhaps a small cursive "u" here?)
  • In the bottom left 1/4 of the pattern on the gown, I found 2 symbols that don't seem to go. Located just left and below the gold sash ring, they are filled in lower left-hand triangles with an upper right-hand dot (perhaps the O with the right hemisphere filled here?).
  • Also near this area and slightly to the right of the sash (below the gold sash ring and just after it angles to the right) there is a stray = symbol outside of the backstitching of the sash on the blue area of the dress. This makes a purple stitch in the middle of all blues. I think I used the O with the right hemisphere filled here.
  • Some of the backstitching in the bottom section of the window frame isn't marked on the pattern. The lower "loops" have two lines of bs - inner and outer - while the upper "loops" only have outer bs. Backstitch in the same color as the inside of the upper loops.
  • The blue backstitching on the gown and pillow should be 930 and the floorboard backstitching should be 3021. Both were left out of instructions by the printer.
  • I also added a diagonal backstitch line on the lower hand (on sill) to make four fingers (showing) instead of a fatter middle one.
  • Helpful hint: The half cross stitches for the clouds should be in the same direction as the top leg of your crosses.
  • Helpful hint: Where the castle meets the top line of the trees, there are two symbols that are very similar "< with a line through it" and "> with a line through it". Take care not to get them confused.
