About this pattern

A five-storey pagoda seen square from the front, in the two blues and the white of blue-and-white china. Five dark navy roofs, each wider than the one above and turned up at both ends, are stacked over white walls, with a slender spire on top and a blue platform underneath. Every storey has a dark doorway on the center line, and the three lower storeys have small blue windows. A band of mid blue runs under each roof. The left half mirrors the right exactly. There is no outline thread and no lettering. Full crosses only. It is 41 by 51 stitches and uses three thread colors.

41 stitches wide by 51 high: 943 full cross stitches in 3 DMC colors (Very Dark Navy Blue 939, Winter White 3865, Dark Baby Blue 322).
