HAED pattern ?

Quick question. I notice that a lot of the HAED patterns call for 25 count fabric, using 2 strands of floss. Is the stitch supposed to be over 1 or over 2 in order to meet the specs in the description (size and floss usage).

Thank you....

Thank you everyone. I'll try that. I completed a counted starter kit and now I am moving on to a dimension petite gold 5x7 kit. We'll see how that goes. I'd love to work my way up to HAED's.
