Futurama Cast Pattern

Hii!!

So I've been looking at this site for a long time and have completed a couple of patterns which have turned out great. However I have no idea about creating my own! So I wonder if there is anyone who can help me...

My other half is futurama mad and I found the cast image and I want to see if anyone can make it into an EPIC pattern!

This is the link to the pattern!

My only ask is that if possible its made on 14 count aida, and don't have a limit on colours. Living in a flat with white walls is starting to make me insane!

I know this is a massive ask but I am slightly mad and any help would be amazing!!

Thank You!! H :D

Wow - that is an EPIC pattern. I wasn't sure how EPIC you wanted EPIC to be :wiz so I made two versions -

The first is the whole thing together :

The stitch count on this is 500w x 206h, which on 14 count will be 36" x 19". Even at this size, the detail is a little iffy.

Now... if you're completely insane there's this one :

Split up into two parts (there is slight overlap, so when printing the pattern, you'll want to make sure you match the two up,) this one is (roughly) 900w x 389h, which on 14 count will be 65" x 28"... I know that you wanted 14 count, but if you want this one for the better detail, I would really really go with a 28 count, which would make it 33" x 14"

Good luck and I definitely want to see WIPs of this one!!! :hello:


EDIT: Helps if I actually attach some patterns, huh?

EDIT: Added to Wiki Patterns

Thank You spinuntilyoufall you are amazing!! Just got in from a bad shift at work and this cheered me and the other half up!

This is going to be EPIC! and WIP's will be shown.

Regarding the size the 28 count would be the sensible option I'm just not that confident stitching on it! Any tips?

Again thank you sooooooooooooo much for this!

:D

This pattern truly is EPIC!!! I would love to try it as well! But am in fear that it would be too much.
I've noticed that you can decrease the size by buying the higher count Aida fabric. So I am also very curious about it,
I would even consider doing only half stitches to really save me some time.
I can just imagine how long this would take, but would love to try since my fiance is also a futurama nut!! (me as well!!)

So I am also asking for tips on using higher count aida fabrics :confused:

So me and my boyfriend just spent about 15 min looking through the image for Fry and Zoidberg. Call me crazy, but neither are in it!?
there's a bunch of almost-them for each main character so don't be fooled. But I'm 95% sure they're not there! :shock:

I noticed that too!!! HOW IN THE WORLD CAN IT NOT HAVE FRY!!!????
I think a lot of the regular characters aren't in it, even Leela?

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure this pic is all the supporting characters?

Yup I realised this after I posted it, after I got the pattern made and bought the supplies! Doh!

Currently looking for another picture of the cast!
