About this pattern

A white lighthouse with one broad red band, a red pointed roof, a lit yellow lantern and a railed gallery, with the keeper's cottage built against its side: a red roof, a gray chimney, two windows and a door. Both stand on a strip of green turf on a gray rock, with blue sea and pale wave crests running past its foot. It is 49 by 52 stitches and uses nine thread colors.

49 stitches wide by 52 high: 1,155 full cross stitches in 9 DMC colors (Winter White 3865, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Medium Antique Blue 931 and 6 more).
