About this pattern

A grandfather clock standing square on. The wooden case is mid brown with gold bands of moulding above and below the hood, at the waist and at the foot. Under the arched top is a round white dial with two dark hands at three o'clock and tick marks at the quarters. Below it a long door of pale blue glass shows the brass pendulum, a thin rod with a round gold bob. The base has one plain gold panel and stands on two bracket feet. The clock mirrors left to right except for the hour hand. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 25 by 64 stitches and uses six thread colors.

25 stitches wide by 64 high: 1,340 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Very Dark Hazelnut Brown 869, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Dark Topaz 782 and 3 more).
