About this pattern

A gold Christmas bell tied with a red ribbon bow, on a round of dark green dotted with white snow, inside a gold rim. The bell flares to a wide lip with a round clapper below, a pale streak of light down its left and a darker gold shade down its right; the bow has two loops, a darker red knot and two short ends lying on the bell's shoulders. The round is stitched solid. Dark brown outline round the bell, the bow and the rim. Full crosses only. It is 47 by 47 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

47 stitches wide by 47 high: 1,725 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Very Dark Blue Green 500, Medium Topaz 783, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 5 more).
