About this pattern

A traditional bow-top living wagon seen from the side, standing on a strip of pale green grass. The rounded top is dark green, with a paler streak of light along the ridge and a deeper green shade at its right end and along its foot; a short stovepipe with a flat cap stands on the roof. In the middle of the top is a window of four pale yellow panes between two red shutters. A gold board runs under the top, and below it the low red body carries a gold wave along its side and a darker red shade along its bottom edge.

64 stitches wide by 55 high: 2,281 full cross stitches in 9 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Hunter Green 3346, Medium Topaz 783 and 6 more).
