About this pattern

A small wooden mine cart seen from the side, standing on a short length of rail track and loaded with five pink crystals that stand up above its rim. The tallest crystal stands in the middle with a shorter one in front of it on the left, a small one stands alone at the far left, and two stand together on the right. Each crystal is a straight-sided prism with a pointed tip: pale pink on its left face, mid pink in front and dusky pink on the right, with a white facet at the left of the point.

47 stitches wide by 55 high: 1,588 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Very Dark Hazelnut Brown 869, Dark Pewter Gray 413 and 5 more).
