About this pattern

A covered wagon of the American West seen square from the side. A tall white canvas cover with rounded shoulders and four pale gray upright folds sits over a shallow brown plank box, and two matching wheels stand under it, each with a red rim, four dark spokes and a dark hub, with the fabric showing between the spokes. The left half mirrors the right exactly. The canvas is white thread, so it shows best on a natural or colored fabric. No horses, driver or lettering are drawn. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 46 by 39 stitches and uses five thread colors.

46 stitches wide by 39 high: 1,360 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Winter White 3865, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Very Dark Hazelnut Brown 869 and 2 more).
