About this pattern

A spade, the playing card suit, filled with the four level stripes of the asexual pride flag: black at the point, then gray, white and purple, with the purple running on down the short stem to its foot. The spade has a point at the top, two round lobes at the bottom and a stem that widens into a foot. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 31 by 31 stitches and uses five thread colors.

31 stitches wide by 31 high: 577 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Winter White 3865, Medium Violet 552, Light Steel Gray 318 and 2 more).
