About this pattern

A castle in dark navy silhouette against a huge full moon, in a round. Three battlemented towers of different heights stand on a hill, the tallest in the middle with a pennant flying from a pole, joined by a low wall; five windows and the arched gateway are lit in pale yellow. The moon is white with three pale gray round patches and a navy rim, and it fills the whole round; the hill and the foot of the castle are one dark shape across the bottom. The round is stitched solid. The moon is stitched in white inside its navy rim, so it shows best on a natural or colored fabric.

58 stitches wide by 58 high: 2,644 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Very Dark Navy Blue 939, Winter White 3865, Pearl Gray 415 and 1 more).
