About this pattern

A home pregnancy test lying level and showing a positive result: a white stick with rounded ends, a pink cap over its tip at the left, a framed window with two upright pink lines, a red heart beside the window and three gray grip ridges at the right. A row of pale gray shade runs along the underside. No words or figures are drawn. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 62 by 18 stitches and uses five thread colors.

62 stitches wide by 18 high: 1,068 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Winter White 3865, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Medium Salmon 3712 and 2 more).
