About this pattern

An old wooden rocking chair seen from the side, facing right: a tall slatted back that leans back from the seat, an arm on two posts, splayed legs and one long curved runner that sweeps out past both ends. A blue pad lies against the back and a plump blue cushion sits on the seat, shaded light and dark blue. Brown wood with a dark brown outline. No lettering. Full crosses only. It is 53 by 53 stitches and uses five thread colors.

53 stitches wide by 53 high: 1,095 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Very Dark Hazelnut Brown 869, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Medium Antique Blue 931 and 2 more).
