About this pattern

A beer flight: four small glasses of beer in a row on a wooden board, running from pale to dark. From the left the beers are pale straw, gold, amber and nearly black, and every glass has a white head of foam, a short streak of light and a thick clear base in pale blue-gray. The four glasses are the same shape and evenly spaced; the darkest beer is stitched in the same dark brown as the outline. The board is one long brown plank seen from the side. No label, brand or lettering is stitched. A wide, low piece for a home bar. Full crosses only. It is 54 by 23 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

54 stitches wide by 23 high: 1,034 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Winter White 3865, Very Dark Hazelnut Brown 869 and 4 more).
