About this pattern

An old red pickup truck parked in the snow beside a decorated Christmas tree, with two wrapped presents in its bed: a gold one with a red ribbon and bow and a green one tied with white. The truck is seen from the side facing right, with a pale blue window, darker red fenders, gray tires with white hubs and a white headlight. The tree, at the left, is a green fir in four tiers hung with small red and gold baubles, and tree and truck stand on one bank of white snow. A small wide piece for a card front or a tea towel band. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only.

64 stitches wide by 31 high: 1,439 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Winter White 3865, Red 321 and 5 more).
