About this pattern

A gray haunted house seen from its graveyard. The house has black roofs, a tall tower with a steep pointed roof, a chimney, three windows lit pale yellow and a dark violet arched door, with a black iron fence running off to each side and one black bat in the sky. In front, on dark violet ground, a stone cross stands between two round-topped gravestones, each marked with a small cross. No lettering on the stones. Full crosses only. It is 57 by 62 stitches and uses six thread colors.

57 stitches wide by 62 high: 2,154 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Black 310, Very Dark Violet 550, Dark Pewter Gray 413 and 3 more).
