About this pattern

A white woolly ram standing on a green hill under the stars of Aries, inside a round gold ring. The ram faces front: a pale face with two dark eyes and a small dark nose between two big curled golden horns, a round white fleece with small gray curls, and two short legs with dark hooves in the grass. Above it, in a navy night sky, four pale gold stars are joined by a thin blue line that bends down at the right, and seven small stars are scattered round. No outline. Full crosses only, every square of the round stitched. It is 63 stitches across and uses ten thread colors.

63 stitches wide by 63 high: 3,125 full cross stitches in 10 DMC colors (Very Dark Navy Blue 939, Medium Topaz 783, Winter White 3865 and 7 more).
