About this pattern

A dark gray iron cooking pot hanging over a campfire. A wooden pole lies across two upright wooden posts, with a pale tan square at each joint; a hook hangs from the middle of the pole and holds the pot by its hooped wire handle. The pot is round-bottomed with a lighter gray lip. Under it a fire burns on a single log with pale cut ends: red flames with orange inside and a pale yellow heart, one tall tongue in the middle reaching the bottom of the pot and a shorter one each side. The left half mirrors the right exactly.

55 stitches wide by 55 high: 1,373 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Very Dark Hazelnut Brown 869, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Red 321 and 5 more).
