About this pattern

A blue crane truck seen from the side and facing right, lifting a brown wooden crate. A long pale yellow boom, shaded gold along its underside and marked with two joint lines, slopes up from the back of the truck and over the cab to a tip beyond the front. A short line drops from the tip to a small gray hook block that holds the crate, which is marked with a cross brace. Under the boom is a blue crane house, with a gray upright block behind it at the rear, and at the front a blue driver's cab; each has a pale blue window.

61 stitches wide by 47 high: 1,344 full cross stitches in 9 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Dark Pewter Gray 413, Dark Baby Blue 322 and 6 more).
