About this pattern

A wicker horn of plenty lying on its side with its mouth to the right. The golden horn is ringed in brown from the mouth to a tail that turns up to a point at the left, with a pale rim round a dark hollow. An orange pumpkin with darker ribs and a bent green stalk sits in the mouth; a red apple with a green leaf lies in front of it, and a bunch of six purple grapes, each with a light spot, trails out on the right. Everything rests on one ground line. Dark brown outline. A wide, low motif. Full crosses only. It is 73 by 31 stitches and uses ten thread colors.

73 stitches wide by 31 high: 1,338 full cross stitches in 10 DMC colors (Medium Topaz 783, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Very Dark Hazelnut Brown 869 and 7 more).
