About this pattern

A band sampler for a new baby inside a green zigzag border. Across the top are three gold stars. In the middle band is a pale yellow pram with a hood, a handle and two white wheels, each with a cross of gray spokes and a gold hub. Along the bottom three yellow ducklings sit in a row, facing right. Two green lines part the bands. There is no lettering. Full crosses only. It is 57 by 81 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

57 stitches wide by 81 high: 1,746 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Forest Green 989, Light Straw 3822, Winter White 3865 and 4 more).
