About this pattern

A smiling monkey's face seen from the front. The round head is reddish brown with a pale tan face whose top dips to a point between the eyes, two dark eyes with white glints, two small nostrils and a wide smile. A big round ear with a pale tan lining stands out at each side, level with the eyes. Dark brown outline. The left half mirrors the right, apart from the glint in each eye. Full crosses only. It is 33 by 21 stitches and uses four thread colors.

33 stitches wide by 21 high: 477 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Red Copper 919, Pale Golden Brown 3827, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 1 more).
