About this pattern

A big sister and a little sister stand side by side under one big red umbrella, each with a hand on its pole. The taller girl wears a blue dress; the smaller wears a pink dress and a pink bow in her hair; both have brown hair and red shoes. The umbrella has a scalloped edge and a plain straight pole; no rain is drawn. No names or wording. A piece for a card for a sister or a 5 inch hoop. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 43 by 54 stitches and uses six thread colors.

43 stitches wide by 54 high: 1,215 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Red 321, Light Tawny 951 and 3 more).
