About this pattern

A retro boombox seen straight from the front. The long case is silver gray, with a carrying handle on top. At each end is a round speaker, a pale gray ring around a dark gray cone with a dark center. Between the speakers a cassette door shows two white tape reels with dark centers; above it a pale yellow tuning scale carries six evenly spaced marks, with three dark gray buttons on each side of it. The two halves mirror exactly. No lettering or numbers are drawn. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 62 by 36 stitches and uses six thread colors.

62 stitches wide by 36 high: 1,972 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Light Steel Gray 318, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Dark Pewter Gray 413 and 3 more).
