Alphabet with Richard Scarry's Busy World Characters Cross Stitch / Embroidery or Needlepoint Pattern

This beautiful pattern is what grand-mothers have been asking for!  A way to share some of your favourite Richard Scarry characters with the new generation!

Recommendations: Best results would be achieved when using 14ct fabric (or even 10-11 ct!). If using smaller weave please adapt the 3/4 stitches to, potentially 1/4 only as the backstitching will cover the other part. It is a tighter and more complex pattern the higher count weave you use.
