About this pattern

A gold crown resting on a purple cushion, in the purple, green and gold of Mardi Gras. The crown has five points, each topped with a round gold ball, and a band set with five oblong jewels, green and purple by turns, under a line of pale gold. The cushion is wider than the crown, lighter purple along its top, with a gold seam from end to end and a gold tassel hanging at each end. The left half mirrors the right exactly. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 60 by 34 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

60 stitches wide by 34 high: 1,420 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Medium Topaz 783, Very Dark Violet 550, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 4 more).
