About this pattern

A banana split seen from the side: a long yellow banana lying in a pale blue glass dish, with three scoops of ice cream on it, pink, white and brown, and a red cherry with a short stalk on the middle scoop. The two ends of the banana turn up and each ends in a dark tip, and a line of gold shade runs along its lower edge. The dish has a small white shine on the left and stands on a low foot. The shapes mirror left to right; only the colors of the two outer scoops and the shine differ. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 49 by 31 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

49 stitches wide by 31 high: 797 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Very Light Antique Blue 3752, Pale Yellow 744 and 5 more).
