About this pattern

A small blue car seen from the side, facing right, wrapped as a gift: a red ribbon runs down over its middle and a big red bow with two loops and a knot sits on the roof. The car has two pale blue side windows, a dark door handle, a pale blue headlight, a red tail light, a darker blue band along the sill and two gray wheels with pale blue hubcaps. The loops of the bow are shaded in darker red toward the knot. Dark brown outline round the car, each wheel, the ribbon and the bow. Full crosses only. It is 47 by 30 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

47 stitches wide by 30 high: 919 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Dark Baby Blue 322, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Red 321 and 4 more).
