About this pattern

A pair of baby footprints in blue on a round white card with a plain pink rim. The two feet stand side by side with their toes up and the big toes in the middle. Each print is a sole with five separate toe prints above it: a round big toe and four small square toes stepping down toward the outside. The card is filled with white stitches, the rim is a ring about three stitches thick, and the two prints are a mirrored pair. No name, date or lettering is drawn, and there is no outline. The card is white thread, so it shows best on a natural or colored fabric. Full crosses only.

55 stitches wide by 55 high: 2,377 full cross stitches in 3 DMC colors (Winter White 3865, Dark Baby Blue 322, Medium Salmon 3712).
