About this pattern

A green frog sitting to face you in a red Santa hat. The hat has a white fur band and a round white bobble on top, and it sits between two big round white eyes with square dark pupils. The frog has a wide smiling mouth, a pale green belly, a rounded thigh at each side and its two front feet together at the bottom. A dark brown outline runs round every part, and the left half mirrors the right exactly. Full crosses only. It is 31 by 36 stitches and uses five thread colors.

31 stitches wide by 36 high: 698 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Forest Green 989, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Winter White 3865 and 2 more).
