About this pattern

A green baby dinosaur with its head and neck out of the top of a white egg. The head is in profile facing left, big and blunt like a little T rex, with a dark eye, a straight mouth line and four small white teeth. The egg is a tall white oval with eight pale orange speckles, and the shell is broken in a zigzag where the neck comes out. Dark brown outline. The shell is stitched in white, so it shows best on natural or colored fabric. Full crosses only. It is 24 by 38 stitches and uses four thread colors.

24 stitches wide by 38 high: 686 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Winter White 3865, Forest Green 989, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 1 more).
