About this pattern

A wreath in the shape of a heart, made of fourteen pale green leaves with dark green edges laid end to end, seven down each side from the dip at the top to the point at the bottom. A red ribbon bow with a darker knot and two short tails is tied in the dip. The middle of the heart is left as bare fabric. Left and right mirror exactly. Full crosses only. It is 49 by 45 stitches and uses four thread colors.

49 stitches wide by 45 high: 614 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Forest Green 989, Ultra Dark Pistachio Green 890, Red 321 and 1 more).
