About this pattern

The Brooklyn Bridge as a framed picture, stitched all over: one stone tower seen face on, with its two tall pointed arches and a flat cornice, in pale golden stone with dark arches. A dark main cable sweeps down from the top of the tower on each side to the level roadway, with four gray hanging ropes a side, and the tower goes on down below the roadway into the river. Behind are a pale blue sky and, low on each side, a far shore of buildings in hazy blue; the river is mid blue with four pale ripples. The bridge mirrors left to right; the far shore does not.

63 stitches wide by 48 high: 3,024 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Very Light Antique Blue 3752, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Pale Golden Brown 3827 and 4 more).
