Have never stitched on it, but I'm pretty sure it's "over one". Now, using how many strands of floss? I would guess 4-6. Experts? Chime in, please! ☺

I received the pattern today, I used to do counted cross stitch every day, but since MS has given me limited dexterity, I saw Monks cloth and thought I could stitch a picture and make it into a pillow. I chose HAPPY CAMPER. I will let you know the number of plies it uses for monks cloth 7 ct . Debbie

Sorry, I interpreted that all wrong! I see now that you wanted to know how many strands for good coverage! Thank you for letting this silly old woman know! Evidently, the experts didn't see it! 😊
