About this pattern

A golden dog with long darker ears looking out of the dark arched doorway of its dog house, with its two front paws resting on the threshold. The house is seen square from the front: pale blue board walls with darker blue lines, a red pitched roof that overhangs the walls, and a red heart on the gable above the door. The dog has two dark eyes with a white glint in each and a dark nose. Apart from the two glints the left half mirrors the right exactly. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 47 by 44 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

47 stitches wide by 44 high: 1,356 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Light Antique Blue 932, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Red 321 and 4 more).
