About this pattern

A gray baby elephant sitting in a bubble bath, seen from the side and facing right with its trunk raised. It has a round pink ear and a dark eye, and only its head, back and trunk show above a row of white foam heaps. The tub is light blue with a darker blue rim and two small darker blue feet. Three soap bubbles of different sizes float above, each pale blue with a darker blue rim and a spot of white light. Dark brown outline on the elephant, the foam and the tub. Full crosses only. It is 41 by 45 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

41 stitches wide by 45 high: 1,182 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Baby Blue 3755, Light Steel Gray 318, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 4 more).
