About this pattern

A gold sheriff's star badge: a six-point star with a gold ball on every tip, one point straight up and one straight down. The four side points are shaded in a deeper gold on their lower halves, the same on the left as on the right, and a round navy blue plate in the center holds a small pale gold five-point star. No lettering, number or county name is drawn. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 41 by 47 stitches and uses five thread colors.

41 stitches wide by 47 high: 953 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Medium Topaz 783, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Dark Topaz 782 and 2 more).
