Most cross stitch patterns for 28 count fabric are designed to be stitched "over two" - that is each stitch goes over two threads of the fabric. If this is the case for your pattern, then you can stitch "over one" on 14 count fabric and the pattern will be exactly the same size.

Can you reduce a cross stitch pattern to fit a certain area?
Cross stitch patterns are usually grids that show the placement and color of the stitch. If you make 5 stitches per nch, your work will be very large. If you use the same pattern, on 10 stitches per inch, it will be smaller. The more stitches per inch you use, the smaller your picture will be. most cross stitch is done on "aida cloth" - fabric with the little squares easy to see and use - it is rated according to how many little squares fit in one inch. (eg: 14 count aida cloth has 14 little squares in one inch, 10 count has ten squares per inch, etc) the count of the cloth you use will effect the size of the finished cross stitch. the SMALLER you want the finished picture, the LARGER the count needs to be.

What does 12 patt repeats mean in crochet?
In many patterns there is a portion of the pattern that is repeated across the row. That is called the pattern repeat. The pattern should specify this in some manner. It might be in parenthesis, or it might say at the end of the section (pattern stitch) In this case, you are being asked to work the pattern stitch (or repeat) 12 times consecutively. It is helpful when you complete the row as you can easily count the repeats rather than the individual stitches.
Where was cross stitch invented?
I make coasters and greeting cards using cross-stitch inserts. Cross stitch is commonly used to decorate baby clothing, such a bibs and quilts. It is also used extensively on women's clothing on collars, sleeves, and necklines. Cross stitching is often used to accentuate seams on slacks and vests. An over-all cross stitch pattern is used to decorate placemats, table cloths, and bedspreads, and cross stitch wall hangings. It is also very popular on Christmas stockings and to accent gift items. Counted cross stitch has been around for centuries and young girls in the early 1800's used linen and thread to create samplers of words and sayings. There are samplers from young girls as young as eight or ten that are surfacing at antique auctions and drawing big bucks. Cross Stitch can be either counted (where you use a paper pattern and count the stitches onto Aida or Linens) or stamped cross stitch meaning it is stamped on a fabric and you stitch over the inked area.

That is a long stitch. Just count 4 rows down and insert your hook in the stitch in line with the stitch on your present row but on the row 4 rows down.
