About this pattern

A square border frame of night sky that runs all the way round an empty middle. The band is solid navy blue, 13 stitches deep. A pale gold five-point star stands in each corner; along the top and along the bottom are two white crescent moons with a gold four-point star between them, and down each side one white crescent between two gold four-point stars. The moons on the left half turn their rounded side to the left and those on the right half to the right, so the frame mirrors left to right.

61 stitches wide by 61 high: 2,496 full cross stitches in 3 DMC colors (Very Dark Navy Blue 939, Winter White 3865, Light Straw 3822).
