About this pattern

The four signs of arithmetic in white, each in the middle of its own colored square tile, set two by two inside a dark frame: a plus sign on blue and a minus sign on red above, a times sign on green and a divide sign on gold below. One dark line parts the tiles down the middle and one across. Each tile mirrors left to right and top to bottom. No figures and no wording are drawn. Dark brown frame and dividing lines. Full crosses only. It is 37 by 37 stitches and uses six thread colors.

37 stitches wide by 37 high: 1,369 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Red 321, Medium Topaz 783, Hunter Green 3346 and 3 more).
