About this pattern

The soles of a newborn's two feet side by side, toes up, with a blue heart centered below them. Each foot is broad at the ball and round at the heel, with five small square toes that step down from the big toe to the little toe; the two big toes are next to each other in the middle and the feet mirror each other exactly. Pale skin tone inside a dark brown outline. A piece for a new baby boy card, or to stitch above a name of your own. The skin thread is pale, so it shows best on a natural or colored fabric. Full crosses only. It is 43 by 38 stitches and uses three thread colors.

43 stitches wide by 38 high: 847 full cross stitches in 3 DMC colors (Light Tawny 951, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Dark Baby Blue 322).
