About this pattern

Three garden hand tools with red handles hang by cords from the three pegs of a wooden rail: a trowel at the left, a pair of shears with red finger rings in the middle and a three-pronged hand fork at the right. The blades and prongs are gray steel with a lighter shine, and the rail is golden wood with a few strokes of grain. No lettering is drawn. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 61 by 49 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

61 stitches wide by 49 high: 1,464 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Medium Old Gold 729, Red 321 and 5 more).
