About this pattern

A small picture sampler for a new baby: a blue and white striped pram under a row of three red hearts, inside a pale blue scalloped border that goes all the way around. The pram is seen from the side, its body in even upright stripes, with a quarter-round hood at the left in blue with a white middle panel, a thin push handle at the right and two white wheels with gray spokes. No name, date or lettering is drawn. The stripes, hood panel and wheels are stitched in white, so they show best on a natural or colored fabric. Full crosses only. It is 56 by 63 stitches and uses six thread colors.

56 stitches wide by 63 high: 1,665 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Baby Blue 3755, Winter White 3865, Dark Baby Blue 322 and 3 more).
