About this pattern

A night-sky sign stitched from edge to edge in dark violet. A pale yellow crescent moon stands at the upper left with three pale yellow five-point stars beside it, two side by side and one below and between them. Under them the words BLESSED BE are lettered in bold white block capitals two stitches thick, on two centered lines. One pale yellow line runs all the way round, one stitch in from the edge. The colors are flat, with no outline and no shading. Full crosses only. It is 64 by 59 stitches and uses three thread colors.

64 stitches wide by 59 high: 3,776 full cross stitches in 3 DMC colors (Very Dark Violet 550, Pale Yellow 744, Winter White 3865).
