About this pattern

A white mosque seen square on, in the style of the great domed mosques of Istanbul. A blue dome with a gold finial sits on a ring of windows above a wider, lower blue dome, over a white hall with two rows of dark blue windows and a round-headed door. Four slender white minarets stand beside it, the inner pair taller, each with gray balconies, a pointed blue cap and a gold finial. Low walls join them and a strip of green lawn runs along the foot. It mirrors exactly left to right. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 63 by 57 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

63 stitches wide by 57 high: 2,151 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Winter White 3865, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Medium Antique Blue 931 and 5 more).
