About this pattern

A hiker seen from behind, standing on a grassy ridge and looking up at a snow-capped mountain. The hiker wears a tan brimmed hat, a green jacket, brown trousers and tan boots, carries a red backpack and reaches the right arm out to a walking stick. A second, smaller snow-capped peak stands behind the big one on the left. The mountains are blue-gray and the sky pale blue, and the whole picture is stitched to the edge inside a dark brown frame one stitch wide. No face is shown. Full crosses only. It is 57 by 56 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

57 stitches wide by 56 high: 3,192 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Medium Antique Blue 931, Very Light Antique Blue 3752, Forest Green 989 and 5 more).
