About this pattern

Four hearts of the same size and shape in a two by two grid, each filled with a different pattern in red, pink and white: level red and white stripes at the top left, white polka dots on red at the top right, a white diamond lattice on red at the bottom left and red, pink and white gingham at the bottom right. Each heart has a dark brown outline and is the same left and right, pattern included. Each is 21 by 21 stitches with its outline and stands apart from the others, so one can be stitched alone. Full crosses only. It is 47 by 47 stitches and uses four thread colors.

47 stitches wide by 47 high: 1,176 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Red 321, Winter White 3865, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 1 more).
