About this pattern

A toy-box rocket standing straight up at lift-off: a white hull with a pointed red nose, one round blue porthole, a red band and two swept-back red fins, on a gray engine bell. An orange flame with a pale yellow heart points down from the bell into a low white cloud of smoke with a gray underside that spreads to both sides. A dark brown outline runs round every part. No flag, badge or lettering. The left side mirrors the right. Full crosses only. It is 33 by 46 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

33 stitches wide by 46 high: 842 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Winter White 3865, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Red 321 and 4 more).
