About this pattern

A tall, slim family tree for a bookmark, with five hearts for leaves. A straight brown trunk flares into a small green mound, and four boughs curve up from it, two on each side at different heights; each bough, and the tip of the trunk, carries one heart on a short stalk. The two lower hearts are red and the three upper hearts are pink, all the same size. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 31 by 64 stitches and uses five thread colors.

31 stitches wide by 64 high: 910 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Very Dark Hazelnut Brown 869, Medium Melon 3706 and 2 more).
