I am very new to cross stitch. Please tell me what "(over 2)" means:

Project Size: 10.9" x 6.0" on 30cnt (over 2)

Thank you

Hi,
"Over two" means you are stitching over two squares on the fabric.
So, let's say you are stitching a pattern on 14-count Aida and going over one square, then that means you are going "over one".
If this is still confusing to you, go to a website called "scarletquince.com". At the top of the website you will see different categories, Tap on the "solutions" bar then on the "tips" bar which will bring up a menu to your left with different titles. Look under the STITCHING title to where it says "over 1 and 2" and tap on it. It will bring up a menu with different instructions but if you scroll up, you will see in RED print about diagram over 1 and over 2. Tap on ithe red print and you will show you an example diagram of "over one versus "over two".
