About this pattern

A jack o lantern drawn to be stitched on black fabric. The pumpkin is cream white with a pale tan rib in shadow at each side and a short gray stalk. Its face is not stitched: two slanting triangle eyes, a triangle nose and a wide grin with two teeth above and one below are the black cloth showing through. There is no outline. The left side mirrors the right exactly. Full crosses only. It is 39 by 32 stitches and uses three thread colors.

39 stitches wide by 32 high: 793 full cross stitches in 3 DMC colors (Ecru ECRU, Very Light Drab Brown 613, Light Steel Gray 318).
