About this pattern

A king's crown seen from the front. Two gold arches bow over a red velvet cap and dip to the middle, where a gold ball carries a gold cross. Below the cap a gold band is set with five jewels, blue and red by turns, and under it runs a band of white ermine with six dark tails. The velvet is shaded in darker red and the gold has pale and dark edges. A dark brown outline runs round every part, and the left half mirrors the right exactly. Full crosses only. It is 41 by 43 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

41 stitches wide by 43 high: 1,153 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Red 321, Medium Topaz 783, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 5 more).
