About this pattern

A flaming torch held upright. The fire has three tongues, the middle one tallest, in red with a deep red edge, an orange flame inside and a pale yellow heart low in the middle. It stands in a shallow gold cup with a flat lip, lighter down its left side, on a plain brown wooden handle that narrows in two steps to a point. The cup and the handle are the same shape left and right; the flame is not meant to mirror. No rings, emblem or lettering are drawn. Dark brown outline on the cup and handle; the deep red edge is the flame's outline. Small: 519 stitches. Full crosses only.

21 stitches wide by 49 high: 519 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Red 321, Dark Autumn Gold 3853, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 4 more).
