About this pattern

A big orange dump truck seen from the side and facing left, carrying a heaped load of brown earth. The box is orange with two darker ribs and a darker rim along its top edge, which runs forward as a canopy over the cab. The small cab has a pale blue window with a darker orange panel behind it, and the front deck has two dark vent lines and a small gray bumper block. A darker orange strip runs along the bottom of the body, and the truck rides on two large dark gray tires with light gray hubs. No name, badge or lettering is drawn. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only.

58 stitches wide by 45 high: 1,904 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Dark Autumn Gold 3853, Copper 921, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 4 more).
