About this pattern

A gable-top carton of milk seen from its front corner. The wide front is white with three black cow patches, and the middle patch runs on round the corner onto the narrow side, which is in pale gray shade. The sloping roof is blue, with a gray triangle at the side and the white sealed strip standing along the top, and a blue band runs round the foot of the carton. There is no name or lettering: the cow print and the gable top say milk. A small icon for a card, a fridge magnet or a key fob. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 24 by 32 stitches and uses five thread colors.

24 stitches wide by 32 high: 704 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Dark Baby Blue 322, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Winter White 3865 and 2 more).
