About this pattern

A tall grandfather clock seen from the front in flat folk art color: a bright red case with a gold ball on top of its arched hood, a round white dial with two gold hands at three o'clock, and a gold pendulum hanging down the narrow trunk. A gold band runs under the hood and another over the base, which carries a row of four white daisies with gold centers and stands on two feet. No outline and no shading. Full crosses only. It is 19 by 47 stitches and uses three thread colors.

19 stitches wide by 47 high: 681 full cross stitches in 3 DMC colors (Bright Red 666, Winter White 3865, Deep Canary 972).
