About this pattern

A steel blue submarine seen from the side, with its blunt bow at the right. A square sail stands on its back with a periscope rising from it, the head of the periscope looking forward. The hull is shaded in three level bands, pale blue on top, mid blue through the middle and darker blue underneath, and tapers toward the stern, where a matched pair of fins stands above and below and a gold propeller sits on the very end. A dark brown outline runs round everything. No number, flag or lettering is drawn on it. Full crosses only. It is 56 by 32 stitches and uses five thread colors.

56 stitches wide by 32 high: 813 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Medium Antique Blue 931, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Dark Antique Blue 930 and 2 more).
