About this pattern

A patriotic gnome standing with both arms out, holding up a little American flag on a gold stick. His tall cone hat comes down over his eyes: red and white stripes at the tip above a blue band with one white five-point star. Below the brim are a round pink nose, a white beard with pale gray strands, a red coat, pink hands and navy boots. The flag flies to the right: a small flag with nine red and white stripes and six white dots on a blue corner, not the full flag's thirteen and fifty. Navy outline. Nothing is written on it. Full crosses only.

56 stitches wide by 44 high: 1,096 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Very Dark Navy Blue 939, Red 321, Dark Baby Blue 322 and 4 more).
