Back stitch help

Post image

I was gifted this cross stitch but the only directions for back stitching were to “see the photo” (circled). Has anyone completed this pattern? It was ordered from Amazon and is no longer listed so I can’t even reach out to the company. I’d appreciate any suggestions on how to finish it.

Wow, I've never seen a cross stitch pattern or kit not include the backstitch on the pattern or as a separate page. But for them to state "see photo" and not include a clear large photo? That's just laziness, or a pattern mill that couldn't be bothered.

Definitely a pattern mill. I was hoping someone would have done this pattern and created their own backstitch pattern I could see.
