About this pattern

The Lamb of God, the Agnus Dei: a white woolly lamb standing on a strip of green grass, its body side on and its face turned to look straight at you. From behind its back rises a gold staff topped with a cross, flying a white banner with a red cross and a swallow-tailed end. The fleece is shaded in pale gray along the belly and the rump, the four legs are dark, and a dark brown outline runs round the lamb, the staff and the banner. Full crosses only. It is 46 by 45 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

46 stitches wide by 45 high: 980 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Winter White 3865, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Pearl Gray 415 and 4 more).
