About this pattern

A four-leaf clover seen flat, with a small red ladybug sitting on its right-hand leaf. Each of the four leaves is a heart with its point at the middle, folded in two greens with the lighter half up or to the left, and a thin stalk steps down to the left from under the bottom leaf. The ladybug is seen from above: a round red back with four black spots and a black head. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 46 by 56 stitches and uses five thread colors.

46 stitches wide by 56 high: 1,530 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Forest Green 989, Hunter Green 3346, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 2 more).
