About this pattern

The front of a small barber shop seen straight on. Under a white cornice and a navy sign band, a red and white striped awning shades a teal wall. On the left is a shop window with pale glass and a slanting white glint; on the right a navy door with a small pane and a gold handle. Between them stands a barber pole with red, white and blue diagonal stripes, gold caps and a gold ball on top. A gray strip of pavement runs along the bottom, and the sign band is left plain. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 43 by 41 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

43 stitches wide by 41 high: 1,569 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Medium Navy Blue 311, Winter White 3865 and 5 more).
