About this pattern

A treasure map on a sheet of pale yellow paper held open between its two rolled ends. A palm tree with a brown trunk and green fronds stands at the left, a trail of brown dashes leads from it along the bottom and up the right side, and a red X marks the spot at the upper right. The map has no lettering. Dark navy outline. Full crosses only. It is 46 by 33 stitches and uses six thread colors.

46 stitches wide by 33 high: 1,306 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Light Straw 3822, Very Dark Navy Blue 939, Medium Old Gold 729 and 3 more).
