About this pattern

A heart-shaped gingerbread cookie in pixel art: a brown heart with a line of white icing piped inside its edge and a pink sugar heart in the middle. The edge is drawn in dark brown along the top and the left and in black along the lower slopes and the right, with a band of darker brown shadow down the right side. Full crosses only. It is 32 by 30 stitches and uses five thread colors.

32 stitches wide by 30 high: 674 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Medium Mahogany 301, White BLANC, Very Dark Mahogany 300 and 2 more).
