About this pattern

A lighthouse on a rock in the sea, stitched as a silhouette in one black thread inside a square frame with cut corners. The lighthouse has a small cap, a lantern room with a square window, a gallery wider than the tower, a tower that steps wider toward its foot and a door at the bottom; the window and the door are bare fabric. The rock has a round boulder on the left and a long low shoulder on the right, with one small wave at each side, and the sea fills the bottom of the frame. Full crosses only. It is 55 by 53 stitches and uses one thread color.

55 stitches wide by 53 high: 1,153 full cross stitches in 1 DMC color (Black 310).
