About this pattern

The word ALOHA in bold teal block capitals, with a red hibiscus flower in place of the O. The flower is as tall as the letters: five rounded red petals with darker red creases and a darker red throat and a pale yellow stamen leaning up to the right, inside a dark brown outline. The letters have no outline. Full crosses only. It is 64 by 19 stitches, a wide strip, and uses five thread colors.

64 stitches wide by 19 high: 691 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Dark Turquoise 3810, Red 321, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 2 more).
