About this pattern

An open hand held upright with its palm toward the viewer, as for a palm reading. The four fingers stand together and the thumb points out to the left; the skin is a pale tone with a pink shade down one side of each finger and the palm, and short pink marks for the finger joints. Three lines are drawn across the palm in deep violet: one that runs from the middle of the palm down to the edge below the little finger, and two that begin together at the base of the thumb, one running across the palm and one curving down to the wrist.

40 stitches wide by 64 high: 1,434 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Light Tawny 951, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Medium Topaz 783 and 4 more).
