About this pattern

A round waffle with a face, in soft pastels. The waffle is pale apricot with a deeper apricot rim and a grid of ribs that cuts it into square pockets. A pat of pale yellow butter edged in straw yellow lies on its upper half, and low on the waffle are two dark eyes and a one-stitch mouth, each in a pocket of its own, with a pink blush mark outside each eye. There is no dark outline, and the left side mirrors the right exactly. Full crosses only. It is 33 by 33 stitches and uses six thread colors.

33 stitches wide by 33 high: 861 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Ultra Very Light Mahogany 3856, Very Light Mahogany 402, Light Pale Yellow 745 and 3 more).
