About this pattern

A baby's stacking ring toy in rainbow colors. Five fat rings sit one on another, smallest at the top and largest at the bottom: red, orange, yellow, green and blue, each with a small white glint at its upper left. A round white knob tops the stack, shaded gray on its right side, and the rings rest on a white rocking base with a gray shade underneath. No maker's name or mark is drawn. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 29 by 50 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

29 stitches wide by 50 high: 856 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Dark Baby Blue 322, Forest Green 989 and 5 more).
