About this pattern

A police officer's peaked cap and a police badge side by side. The cap is navy, with a plain gold shield on its crown, a band of navy and white checks, a gold band under it and a black peak. The badge is a gold shield with a navy line inside its edge, a navy five-pointed star in the middle and a narrow white bar across it under the star, left empty. No number, name, motto or department is drawn. Each of the two mirrors left to right. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 55 by 26 stitches and uses five thread colors.

55 stitches wide by 26 high: 895 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Very Dark Navy Blue 939, Medium Topaz 783, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 2 more).
