About this pattern

A bookmark of the three old emblems of faith, hope and love, one to a pane of a plain dark blue frame and read from the top down: a gold cross, a dark blue anchor and a red heart. The cross is a Latin cross in gold with a paler edge and a dark outline. The anchor is flat dark blue, with a ring, a straight stock, a shank and two curved arms that end in pointed flukes. The heart is red with a lighter patch at the upper left and a dark outline. No words are stitched. Each emblem sits in the middle of its pane. Full crosses only. It is 27 by 73 stitches and uses six thread colors.

27 stitches wide by 73 high: 758 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Medium Navy Blue 311, Red 321, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 3 more).
