About this pattern

A broad apple tree with eight round red apples spread over its rounded green crown and two more lying in the grass, one each side of the trunk. The crown is dark green with a band of lighter green along its upper left edge, the short brown trunk widens at the foot, and each apple has darker red shade on its lower right. A dark brown outline runs round the crown, the trunk, the grass and every apple. The shapes mirror left to right. Full crosses only. It is 45 by 44 stitches and uses six thread colors.

45 stitches wide by 44 high: 1,452 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Hunter Green 3346, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Forest Green 989 and 3 more).
