About this pattern

A gray and white husky puppy looking out of a wicker basket, seen from the front. Its head and two white front paws show over the rim, under a tall brown hoop handle. It has two pointed ears with white insides, a dark gray cap that comes to a point between two blue eyes, a white mask, a small dark nose and a pink tongue. The basket is a check of gold and brown blocks with a dark brown outline. The left half mirrors the right exactly. A piece for a 4 inch hoop or a card. Full crosses only. It is 35 by 38 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

35 stitches wide by 38 high: 1,031 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Very Dark Hazelnut Brown 869, Medium Old Gold 729 and 4 more).
