About this pattern

A black raven seen from the side stands on a stack of three closed books, facing right, with one white eye and three gray bars on its wing. The top book is red and the bottom one green, each with two gold bands on its spine; the middle book is blue-gray, longer than the other two, and shows its white page edges. The single word NEVERMORE is lettered underneath in plain black capitals one stitch thick. Full crosses only. It is 62 by 54 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

62 stitches wide by 54 high: 1,228 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Black 310, Hunter Green 3346, Red 321 and 5 more).
