About this pattern

A white unicorn in mid leap above a small rainbow, seen from the side and facing left. It has a gold horn, a small ear lined in pink, a dark eye, a mane and a streaming tail in bands of pink, lilac and aqua, and gold hooves. Its forelegs reach forward and its hind legs trail behind, the far leg of each pair in pale gray. Below it, clear of the hooves, stands a rainbow arch of four bands, pink, gold, aqua and lilac from the outside in, with flat feet. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 53 by 53 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

53 stitches wide by 53 high: 1,287 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Winter White 3865, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Medium Salmon 3712 and 4 more).
