About this pattern

A round wall clock seen straight on, with a blue rim in two blues round a white dial. The hands show nine o'clock from a square center, and dark hour marks, heavier at twelve, three and nine, run round the dial with no numbers. Across the foot of the dial lies a green bank with three red tulips standing in a row on green stems, each with a pair of leaves at its foot and the middle one a little taller; they stand in front of the marks for five, six and seven. A dark brown line edges the rim inside and out, and everything but the hour hand mirrors left to right. Full crosses only.

53 stitches wide by 53 high: 2,217 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Winter White 3865, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Dark Baby Blue 322 and 5 more).
