About this pattern

An acoustic guitar in solid black silhouette, standing upright in the middle of a plain frame with cut corners. The figure-of-eight body, the long neck and the head with three tuning pegs on each side are one black shape; only the round sound hole and the bar of the bridge are left as bare cloth. No strings are drawn. The left half mirrors the right exactly. One thread throughout, so it can be stitched in any single dark color. Full crosses only. It is 35 by 63 stitches and uses one thread color.

35 stitches wide by 63 high: 1,024 full cross stitches in 1 DMC color (Black 310).
