About this pattern

A red BMX bike seen from the side, facing right. Two fat black tires of one size run on white wheels with gray spokes and gray hubs. The small red frame has a top tube that falls toward a low black saddle on a short gray post, and a tall gray stem carries a black handlebar grip high above the front wheel. One gray sprocket with a black crank and pedal sits between the wheels. There is no outline: every part is a flat shape in its own color. Full crosses only. It is 51 by 37 stitches and uses four thread colors.

51 stitches wide by 37 high: 777 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Black 310, Winter White 3865, Light Steel Gray 318 and 1 more).
