About this pattern

Two ripe red cherries hanging from one forked green stalk, the right one a little lower and in front of the left. Each cherry has a white gloss mark at its upper left and darker red shading at its lower right. One green leaf with a darker midrib lies level at the upper left, on a leaf stalk that runs to the fork. Dark brown outline round the fruit and the leaf; the stalks are plain green. A mini piece for a card, a jar label or the corner of a tea towel. Full crosses only. It is 27 by 30 stitches and uses six thread colors.

27 stitches wide by 30 high: 338 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Red 321, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Medium Garnet 815 and 3 more).
