About this pattern

A gold pocket watch with its chain. The round case is banded in three golds round a white dial with twelve dark hour marks and no numbers, and the hands show nine o'clock. A winding crown and a square bow stand on top, and a chain of eight gold links runs from the bow out to the right and down beside the watch to an end ring. A dark brown outline runs round every part. Full crosses only. It is 38 by 43 stitches and uses five thread colors.

38 stitches wide by 43 high: 982 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Winter White 3865, Medium Topaz 783 and 2 more).
