About this pattern

A purple haunted house seen from the front. Its tall middle tower has a steep pointed black roof and a big dark arched window, and in the window stands a white ghost with two dark eyes and a ragged hem. On each side is a lower wing with a black roof, a chimney and two four-pane windows lit pale yellow, one above the other. A dark purple arched double door stands at the foot of the tower, and a black bat flies on each side of the tower roof. The whole design mirrors left to right. The lines are black; there is no brown outline. Full crosses only.

51 stitches wide by 60 high: 2,042 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Black 310, Violet 553, Very Dark Violet 550 and 2 more).
