About this pattern

The words GONE FISHING in bold navy blue capitals on two lines. The O of GONE is a round fishing bobber, red above and white below, with a small red button on top. Under the words is a band of pale turquoise water with a wavy darker surface line, and in it one fish swimming to the left: dark turquoise with a pale yellow back fin and tail, a white belly and a dark eye, with two short ripple dashes on each side of it. The bobber and the fish have a dark brown outline; the letters and the water have none. There is no other wording. Full crosses only.

49 stitches wide by 50 high: 1,480 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Very Light Turquoise 3811, Medium Navy Blue 311, Dark Turquoise 3810 and 4 more).
