About this pattern

One white bowling pin standing upright and wearing a small gold crown. The crown is a gold band with a paler stripe through it and three short points; it is as wide as the head of the pin and sits on top of it, so the round head shows below. Under the head are the pin's two red stripes round the neck and its wide low belly on a flat base, with pale gray shading down the right side. Pin and crown share one center line and mirror left to right, apart from the shading. No lettering or team mark. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 19 by 47 stitches and uses six thread colors.

19 stitches wide by 47 high: 635 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Winter White 3865, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Pearl Gray 415 and 3 more).
