About this pattern

A small Adam and Eve picture sampler inside a red zigzag border that runs all the way around. In the garden, Adam and Eve stand either side of an apple tree with red apples and a bright green serpent wound around its trunk; the serpent turns its head and red tongue toward Eve, who holds an apple. Adam is bearded, Eve has long golden hair, and each wears a green fig leaf. Below them two brown rabbits with pale tails sit facing each other across a red apple. There is no lettering. Full crosses only. It is 71 by 87 stitches and uses nine thread colors.

71 stitches wide by 87 high: 2,987 full cross stitches in 9 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Red 321, Hunter Green 3346 and 6 more).
