About this pattern

A woven wicker basket in gold with brown weave marks and a brown rim, a tall arched handle and a pink bow tied at the top of it. Five eggs stand in it, each with a band of another color: in front a pink egg with a darker pink band between two blue eggs with yellow bands, and behind them two yellow eggs with blue bands. The left half mirrors the right exactly. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 47 by 49 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

47 stitches wide by 49 high: 1,615 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Medium Old Gold 729, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Very Dark Hazelnut Brown 869 and 4 more).
