About this pattern

A purple cottage on Halloween night. Its tall slate gray roof rises to a point like a witch's hat and flares out at the eaves, with a round lit window in the middle of it and a dark purple chimney on the left slope. Below are a lit window of four panes, a dark purple door and, in front of the wall to the right of the door, a grinning orange jack o lantern with a green stalk. A strip of green grass runs underneath. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 45 by 41 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

45 stitches wide by 41 high: 1,184 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Dark Pewter Gray 413, Violet 553 and 4 more).
