About this pattern

A margarita in its stepped glass, seen from the side: a wide shallow bowl over a small round well, a thin stem and a flat round foot. A band of white salt runs along the rim, the drink below it is pale lime green with one short streak of light, and half a wheel of lime stands on the rim at the right, with a dark green rind, a white ring of pith and pale green flesh. The glass mirrors left to right. The salt is white thread, so it shows best on a natural or colored fabric. Small: 468 stitches. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 27 by 32 stitches and uses five thread colors.

27 stitches wide by 32 high: 468 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Light Parrot Green 907, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Winter White 3865 and 2 more).
