About this pattern

Eight red toadstools standing in a ring on an oval patch of grass, seen from a little above: three small ones at the back, one at each end, two larger ones toward the front and the largest at the front in the middle. Each has a domed red cap with white spots, a pale band of gills and a white stalk that grows straight out of the grass. A band of darker green marks the ring in the turf, and five short blades of grass stand inside it. It mirrors left to right. Dark brown outline round each toadstool; the grass has none. Full crosses only. It is 61 by 35 stitches and uses six thread colors.

61 stitches wide by 35 high: 1,567 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Forest Green 989, Red 321, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 3 more).
