About this pattern

A garden gnome standing beside his wooden wheelbarrow, one hand on its handle. He wears a tall red cone hat with a dark red band pulled down to his round pink nose, a white beard, a teal coat with two pink mitten hands and dark red boots. The wheelbarrow is brown wood seen from the side, with one dark wheel, a prop leg and a straight handle, and it is heaped with three round blooms, red, yellow and pink, each with a gold center, on a bank of green leaves. A piece for a small hoop or a card front. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 58 by 39 stitches and uses eleven thread colors.

58 stitches wide by 39 high: 1,092 full cross stitches in 11 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Red 321, Very Dark Hazelnut Brown 869 and 8 more).
