About this pattern

A gold arrow weathervane on the roof of a small cupola. The arrow points to the right, with a broad head and a feathered tail cut by slanting lines, and turns on a gray iron pole between a small gold ball above it and a larger gold ball below. Under them a level cross arm ends in a gold diamond knob at each side. The pole stands on the peak of a red roof whose right face is a darker red, over a white box with three gray louvre slats. No compass letters are drawn. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 43 by 55 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

43 stitches wide by 55 high: 879 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Medium Topaz 783, Winter White 3865 and 5 more).
