About this pattern

The Liberty Bell hanging from its wooden yoke, seen from the front. The bell is golden, with a round shoulder, a waist that widens to a flared lip, a darker band near the top and another above the lip, and its crack climbing in a zigzag from the lip to the middle of the bell. The yoke is a brown beam with a humped top and two upright straps, and the clapper shows under the lip. A pale stripe of light runs down the left side and a shadow down the right. Dark navy outline. No words or date. Full crosses only. It is 35 by 40 stitches and uses five thread colors.

35 stitches wide by 40 high: 972 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Medium Topaz 783, Very Dark Navy Blue 939, Very Dark Hazelnut Brown 869 and 2 more).
