About this pattern

An old wooden tabletop radio from the 1930s, seen from the front. The cabinet has a rounded arched top, a darker brown rim around a golden brown face, and a wider base on two short feet. In the upper half an arched speaker grille shows pale cloth between three upright wooden bars. Below it sits a small half-round dial, pale as if lit, with a pointer standing at the middle, and under that are three dark round knobs in a level row. No numbers or lettering are drawn. The two sides mirror exactly. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 47 by 57 stitches and uses four thread colors.

47 stitches wide by 57 high: 2,195 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Dark Topaz 782, Very Dark Hazelnut Brown 869, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 1 more).
