About this pattern

An old-fashioned popcorn cart seen from the side. A red and white striped awning with a scalloped lower edge overhangs a glass case: inside, a gray kettle hangs at the upper left and five pieces of white popcorn with pale yellow shading are heaped along the bottom. The case stands on a red box body with two gold lines, carried on a large red-rimmed wheel with four spokes and a smaller wheel, and a dark push handle rises from the right end. Three short white dashes on the glass are a glint. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 55 by 43 stitches and uses nine thread colors.

55 stitches wide by 43 high: 1,605 full cross stitches in 9 DMC colors (Red 321, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Winter White 3865 and 6 more).
