About this pattern

A round scene for a hoop, stitched edge to edge: four gray stones balanced one on another, the largest at the bottom and the smallest on top, standing on a dark rock at the edge of the sea. Behind them the sun is half down on a level horizon at the left, pale yellow, with short strokes of its light on the blue water below it. The sky is three flat bands, apricot at the horizon, then salmon pink, then violet. The four stones have a dark brown outline; the sky, sun, sea and rock have none. Full crosses only. It is 51 by 51 stitches and uses ten thread colors.

51 stitches wide by 51 high: 2,053 full cross stitches in 10 DMC colors (Medium Salmon 3712, Medium Antique Blue 931, Pale Golden Brown 3827 and 7 more).
