About this pattern

A round cartoon whale in side view facing left, blue above and white below, with its tail lifted behind it. A fountain of pale blue water rises from the top of its head and falls to both sides. It has a small dark eye with a white glint, a mouth line that turns up at the corner and a small flipper low on its side. A dark brown outline runs round the whale; the water has none. Full crosses only. It is 43 by 25 stitches and uses four thread colors.

43 stitches wide by 25 high: 639 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Dark Baby Blue 322, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Winter White 3865 and 1 more).
