About this pattern

One handprint in flat pink with a red heart in the middle of its palm. The hand is open, with four fingers pointing up and the thumb out to the right; the middle finger is the longest and the little finger, on the left, the shortest, and the three gaps between the fingers are each two stitches wide. The heart is whole and upright, centered under the four fingers, with pink on every side of it. There is no outline: the pink is its own edge. No name or date is drawn. Small: 589 stitches. Full crosses only. It is 33 by 29 stitches and uses two thread colors.

33 stitches wide by 29 high: 589 full cross stitches in 2 DMC colors (Medium Salmon 3712, Red 321).
