About this pattern

A black pot with a gray rim, heaped with three gold coins and standing on two short feet, right under the middle of a rainbow arch. The rainbow has five bands, red on the outside, then orange, yellow, green and blue, and its two ends run straight down to the level of the pot's feet. Each coin carries a small pale mark. The left side mirrors the right. Full crosses only. It is 59 by 39 stitches and uses nine thread colors.

59 stitches wide by 39 high: 1,454 full cross stitches in 9 DMC colors (Black 310, Red 321, Light Straw 3822 and 6 more).
