About this pattern

A round fishing scene inside a dark ring, stitched all over. A person in a straw hat with a red band and a red shirt sits in a little red rowboat with a white stripe along its top edge, facing right and holding a fishing rod out over the water. The line drops straight down from the tip of the rod to a red and white float. The sky is pale blue, with a pale yellow sun high over the rod, and the water is teal with four short white ripples. Every part has a dark brown outline except the sun and the ripples. Full crosses only. It is 51 by 51 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

51 stitches wide by 51 high: 2,053 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Very Light Turquoise 3811, Dark Turquoise 3810, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 4 more).
