About this pattern

A flamingo seen from the side as one flat pink shape, facing right, with no outline and no shading. Its long neck rises from the breast in an open S to a small head with a thick bill bent down, and one bare square of fabric is left for the eye. The body is a level oval that runs back into a pointed tail. It stands on one straight leg, with the other folded up behind it, on a strip of teal water with four scalloped waves, exactly as wide as the bird. Full crosses only. It is 32 by 49 stitches and uses two thread colors.

32 stitches wide by 49 high: 440 full cross stitches in 2 DMC colors (Medium Salmon 3712, Dark Turquoise 3810).
