About this pattern

A cup of bubble tea, also called boba or pearl milk tea. A tall clear cup holds tan milk tea under a pale blue-gray domed lid, with nine dark tapioca pearls heaped at the bottom in rows of two, three and four. A fat teal straw goes in through the top of the dome and shows through the lid and the clear top of the cup down to the tea. One pale streak of light runs down the left side of the tea. There is no shop name, logo or face. But for that streak of light, the left half mirrors the right. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 24 by 44 stitches and uses five thread colors.

24 stitches wide by 44 high: 744 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Pale Golden Brown 3827, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Very Light Antique Blue 3752 and 2 more).
