About this pattern

The dog is one solid black shape with two pointed ears, a long bearded muzzle, a single white stitch for the eye, an upright tail and short legs; the two legs on its far side are dark gray. The coat is red crossed by darker red lines, three upright and two level, with a red strap across the chest and another under the belly. There is no outline. Full crosses only. It is 37 by 30 stitches and uses five thread colors.

37 stitches wide by 30 high: 591 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Black 310, Red 321, Medium Garnet 815 and 2 more).
