About this pattern

A sleeveless basketball jersey laid flat and seen from the front. It is mid blue with white piping round the scooped neck and the two deep armholes, and a deep blue panel with a thin white stripe runs down each side to the straight hem. An orange basketball with dark seams, one upright, one level and a curved one each side, sits on the chest where a number would go. No number, name, team mark or logo is drawn. The design mirrors exactly left to right. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 35 by 46 stitches and uses five thread colors.

35 stitches wide by 46 high: 1,405 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Dark Baby Blue 322, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Medium Navy Blue 311 and 2 more).
