About this pattern

A pale blue-gray moth with its wings spread, under a yellow crescent moon with a small gold four-point star on each side. The horns of the moon point right. The moth has blue-gray forewings with a pale stripe and darker blue tips, paler hindwings, a white body with pale blue rings and two short comb-like antennae. Moon and stars stand apart from the moth, with bare cloth between. The moth and the moon have a dark brown outline; the stars have none. Full crosses only. It is 37 by 51 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

37 stitches wide by 51 high: 829 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Light Antique Blue 932, Light Straw 3822 and 4 more).
