About this pattern

A blue tennis racket standing upright on the end of its handle, with a tennis ball beside it. The oval head is strung with a gray grid on white, the frame is blue with a darker blue shade down its right side, and the open throat narrows to a gray grip wrapped with a paler diagonal band and finished with a butt cap. A yellow-green tennis ball with two white seams and an olive shade lies to the right of the grip, clear of it and level with the butt cap. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 30 by 58 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

30 stitches wide by 58 high: 892 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Dark Pewter Gray 413, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Winter White 3865 and 5 more).
