About this pattern

A gray mouse crouches on top of a red toadstool with five white spots. The mouse is seen from the side, facing right, with two big round ears lined in pink, a dark eye with a white glint, a pink nose, two pink feet and a long pink tail curling up behind it. The toadstool has a white stalk shaded gray under the cap and stands in dark green grass. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 41 by 41 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

41 stitches wide by 41 high: 1,033 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Red 321, Light Steel Gray 318, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 4 more).
