About this pattern

A sampler band of four wooden chairs standing in a row, each seen straight on: a ladder-back with level slats and a straw rush seat, a bow-back Windsor with white spindles and a gold seat on splayed legs, a spindle-back with a blue and white checked cushion, and a balloon-back with a pale gold cane seat. Brown wood with a dark brown outline, no frame. No lettering. Full crosses only. It is 99 by 37 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

99 stitches wide by 37 high: 2,026 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Very Dark Hazelnut Brown 869, Light Straw 3822 and 4 more).
