About this pattern

An old manual typewriter seen straight from the front, with a blank sheet of paper standing in its carriage. The body is dark gray with a flared base, one thin gold pinstripe, four rows of square white keys and a white space bar. Above the keys a half-round basket of light gray type bars sits under the carriage, a dark roller with a light gray knob at each end. The sheet is plain white and empty. The left half mirrors the right exactly. Dark brown outline. The paper is stitched in white, so it shows best on a natural or colored fabric. Full crosses only.

56 stitches wide by 50 high: 2,110 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Dark Pewter Gray 413, Winter White 3865, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 2 more).

Count is the number of squares to the inch: 14-count fabric has 14, and a higher count makes the same design smaller. DMC is the thread maker whose color numbers most charts use.
