About this pattern

An aloe vera plant in a round blue pot. Eight thick pointed green leaves fan up and out from the pot: a tall one in the middle, three pairs leaning out to the sides and one short new leaf in front. Every leaf is speckled with single pale green flecks and shaded darker green down its right side. The pot is a rounded blue glazed bowl with a rolled rim, a pale highlight on the left and a darker blue shade on the right. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 55 by 58 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

55 stitches wide by 58 high: 1,664 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Forest Green 989, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Medium Antique Blue 931 and 4 more).
