About this pattern

A flat bright green Christmas tree drawn as one stepped triangle, with no outline and no shading. A gold five-point star sits on the tip. Across the tree, from the top down, run a gold garland hanging in one swag, a row of six red berries, a row of four white daisies with gold centers, a row of nine red berries and a gold garland hanging in three swags. The tree stands on a short red trunk in a wide red pot with four gold dots. The left side mirrors the right. Full crosses only. It is 27 by 40 stitches and uses four thread colors.

27 stitches wide by 40 high: 482 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Bright Green 700, Deep Canary 972, Bright Red 666 and 1 more).
