About this pattern

An orange carrot standing upright, point down, dressed with a pink bow. Three green leaves rise from the top: a lighter upright one in the middle and a darker one leaning out to each side. The bow sits on the shoulder of the carrot and is as wide as it, with two round loops, a knot and two hanging tails. The carrot narrows in steps to a blunt tip and has five short darker orange creases that come in from the left and the right by turns. Apart from the creases the left half mirrors the right. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 22 by 55 stitches and uses six thread colors.

22 stitches wide by 55 high: 642 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Dark Autumn Gold 3853, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Medium Salmon 3712 and 3 more).
