About this pattern

The head and shoulders of an astronaut in a white space suit, seen from the front. The round helmet has a wide dark navy visor with a gold rim, and the whole Earth hangs in the glass: blue sea, green land, white ice at top and bottom and a patch of white cloud, with a streak of light beside it. No face shows. Gray shade runs down the right of the helmet, which sits on a gray neck ring. The suit has a red band on each arm and a red and a blue round fitting on the chest. No emblem, flag or lettering. Dark navy outline. Full crosses only. It is 43 by 46 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

43 stitches wide by 46 high: 1,352 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Winter White 3865, Very Dark Navy Blue 939, Pearl Gray 415 and 5 more).
