About this pattern

A round design, stitched right across in dark navy: a pale turquoise dragonfly with four white wings, seen from straight above, flies under a pale yellow full moon, with seven small pale yellow stars scattered round it. The moon stands to the upper left, so the sky is not a mirror image, but the dragonfly is. There is no outline: the dark sky is the edge of everything on it. Full crosses only. It is 58 by 58 stitches and uses six thread colors.

58 stitches wide by 58 high: 2,644 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Very Dark Navy Blue 939, Light Straw 3822, Winter White 3865 and 3 more).
