About this pattern

An old electric streetcar seen square from the side, of the kind that still runs in New Orleans: a green car with a row of eight windows in red frames, a red door with its own window at each end, a gold stripe under the windows, a gray roof and a trolley pole reaching back and up to the overhead wire. Four gray wheels sit on a rail laid over evenly spaced ties. No number, route name or lettering is drawn. A piece for a long frame or a tote pocket. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 62 by 33 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

62 stitches wide by 33 high: 1,474 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Red 321, Hunter Green 3346 and 5 more).
