About this pattern

A whole yellow pear with a face, in soft pastels. A narrow rounded neck swells into a fat round belly, pale yellow edged in straw yellow, with a short tan stalk leaning to the left on top and one green leaf lying out to the right from its foot. On the belly are two dark eyes, a one-stitch mouth and a pink blush mark at each side. No dark outline. The pear and its face mirror left to right; the stalk and the leaf do not. Full crosses only. It is 25 by 35 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

25 stitches wide by 35 high: 535 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Light Pale Yellow 745, Straw 3821, Medium Nile Green 913 and 4 more).
