I’m stitching 2 over 1 on 28ct for Autumn Stories:

However, BIG caveat. I’m doing it all in tent stitch (half stitches), which I did a test square of before starting to make sure the coverage was good. Obviously the main difference is stitching over 1 you end up with a finished piece half the size of what the pattern probably says it should be, but as a bonus you get to use (and therefore buy) less floss. So swings and roundabouts!

I think 2 over 1 full cross stitch would’ve been a bit much for this fabric, I’d probably have tried swatching 1 over 1 to see what that looked like. But honestly just do whatever you want, no stitching police are gonna come knocking at the door :D

Personally I really love the look of stitching over 2 on evenweave because the relatively chonky stitches contrast with the finer fabric. But ymmv!
