About this pattern

A downtown skyline drawn in line only: every wall, roof, floor and window bar is a line one stitch wide, nothing is filled in, and the panes are bare fabric. Six buildings stand on one level street line that runs the full width.

61 stitches wide by 29 high: 634 full cross stitches in 1 DMC color (Black 310).
