About this pattern

A toy sailboat with a face. The sea green hull is a shallow tub edged in a deeper green, and a thin brown mast carries a tall pale yellow mainsail on the right, a smaller jib on the left and a little green pennant at the masthead. The face sits low on the hull: two dark dot eyes, a one-stitch mouth and a pink blush mark beside each eye. No dark outline and no shading. Full crosses only. It is 29 by 40 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

29 stitches wide by 40 high: 567 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Light Seagreen 964, Light Pale Yellow 745, Straw 3821 and 4 more).
