About this pattern

Three things set one above another where they would sit on a face, with no face drawn: a blue checked flat cap with a darker peak, a pair of round gold-rimmed glasses with pale blue lenses, and a full gray moustache with a darker strand on each half. The whole design mirrors left to right. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 49 by 52 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

49 stitches wide by 52 high: 1,351 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Medium Antique Blue 931, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Dark Antique Blue 930 and 4 more).
