About this pattern

A bookmark with one giraffe standing at its full height on a strip of grass, seen from the side and facing left. It is pale yellow with copper patches that grow from the jaw to the shoulder, a brown mane down the back of a long leaning neck, two horn stubs, an ear lined in white, a dark eye with a white glint, a thin tail with a dark tassel and brown hooves; the two far legs show in a darker gold. Dark brown outline; the grass has none. Full crosses only. It is 37 by 64 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

37 stitches wide by 64 high: 884 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Light Straw 3822, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Copper 921 and 4 more).
