About this pattern

A cast iron frying pan seen from straight above, with one egg frying sunny side up in it. The pan is a true circle with a black rim and a dark gray cooking surface, and its handle runs out level to the right, narrow at the pan and wider at the end, with a hanging slot. The egg white is an uneven white shape with a lobe at the lower right, and the gold yolk sits on it with a small white glint. A small piece for the kitchen: 653 stitches. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 43 by 27 stitches and uses five thread colors.

43 stitches wide by 27 high: 653 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Dark Pewter Gray 413, Black 310, Winter White 3865 and 2 more).
