About this pattern

A chain of three paper dolls cut from one strip of turquoise paper and joined at the hands. Each doll is a plain cut-out with a round head, arms held out to the sides, a flared dress and two straight legs, and has no face. The left half of each doll is light turquoise and the right half a deeper turquoise, like a fold down the middle of the paper. A pink heart sits on the front of each dress. One dark brown outline runs round the whole chain. Full crosses only. It is 63 by 35 stitches and uses four thread colors.

63 stitches wide by 35 high: 1,286 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Light Turquoise 598, Turquoise 597, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 1 more).
