About this pattern

A candle lit in remembrance, in a round of night blue that is stitched solid. One stout white candle stands in the middle with a red heart on its front and a pale gray edge. Its flame is an orange teardrop inside a round pale yellow glow, joined to the candle by a short dark wick, and the candle stands in a shallow golden dish with a pale line of light along it. Flame, heart and dish share one center line and the left half mirrors the right exactly. No name, date or words are drawn. Sized for a 4 inch hoop. Full crosses only. It is 47 by 47 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

47 stitches wide by 47 high: 1,741 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Very Dark Navy Blue 939, Pale Yellow 744, Winter White 3865 and 4 more).
