About this pattern

Five tulips fan out of a low woven basket: a red tulip tallest in the middle, a yellow tulip either side of it and a red tulip leaning out at each end, each a pointed cup of petals on a bare dark green stem. Broad pale green leaves rise between the stems. The golden basket has a woven brown pattern and a pale rim. The whole picture mirrors about its middle. Dark brown outline throughout. No lettering. Full crosses only. It is 51 by 49 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

51 stitches wide by 49 high: 1,507 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Medium Topaz 783, Very Dark Hazelnut Brown 869 and 5 more).
