About this pattern

A raccoon sitting upright and facing forward inside a round red ring drawn as a Christmas tree ornament, with a gold cap and a hanging loop at the top and a holly leaf and a red berry at each side of the cap. The raccoon is gray with a dark gray mask round its eyes, a white brow, muzzle and belly, small ears and dark gray feet, and its tail stands up beside it in dark and light gray rings. The ring has no outline and the cloth shows inside it; the raccoon, the cap and the holly have a dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 41 by 50 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

41 stitches wide by 50 high: 831 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Red 321, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Light Steel Gray 318 and 4 more).
