About this pattern

A half-circle protractor from a school geometry set, laid flat with its straight edge at the bottom. It is clear pale blue with a dark outline. Tick marks run in from the curved edge all the way round and point at the center, and a darker blue arc follows the curve inside them. The half-round window in the middle is bare cloth, with a short center mark standing on the base line. Under the base line is a ruler edge with nine evenly spaced marks. No figures or lettering are drawn. The design mirrors exactly left to right. Full crosses only. It is 51 by 31 stitches and uses three thread colors.

51 stitches wide by 31 high: 1,015 full cross stitches in 3 DMC colors (Light Turquoise 598, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Turquoise 597).
