About this pattern

A black crow in side view, facing right, stands on a strip of green grass between two red toadstools with white spots and white stems: a big one in front of its heavy bill and a small one under its tail. The crow has a dark gray folded wing, a single white stitch for an eye and two straight black legs. Black outline. Full crosses only. It is 54 by 29 stitches and uses five thread colors.

54 stitches wide by 29 high: 741 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Black 310, Dark Pewter Gray 413, Hunter Green 3346 and 2 more).
