About this pattern

Avocado toast: one slice of golden toast seen flat, with half an avocado lying on it, cut side up and the stone still in. The slice has a wide rounded top, straight sides and a brown crust all the way round. The avocado is green at the rim, paler green inside that and soft yellow in the middle, with a round brown stone low in its wide end and a curve of gold light on the stone's upper left. But for that light the design mirrors left to right. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 37 by 39 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

37 stitches wide by 39 high: 1,309 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Pale Golden Brown 3827, Very Dark Hazelnut Brown 869, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 4 more).
