About this pattern

The lion and the lamb together: a big lion with a round orange mane and a small white lamb beside him on a strip of green grass, both facing you. The lion has a pale gold face with a white muzzle, a dark nose, round ears and two low paws out in front; the right side of his mane is shaded darker. The lamb has a woolly white body and topknot, a pale pink face with ears that stick out sideways, and dark hooves. A picture of peace from church art. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 55 by 36 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

55 stitches wide by 36 high: 1,297 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Light Straw 3822, Winter White 3865 and 5 more).
