About this pattern

An empty red canoe lies level on a still blue lake, with three dark green pine trees on the far bank. The canoe is seen from the side, both ends swept up to a point, with a gold rim along its top edge, a darker red band along its keel and a dark shadow on the water under it. Short pale ripples lie on the water. The bank is a strip of pale green, and the pines stand on it at three heights, two on the left and one on the right, each on a brown trunk. The canoe has a dark brown outline; the trees and the water have none. Full crosses only. It is 57 by 41 stitches and uses nine thread colors.

57 stitches wide by 41 high: 1,510 full cross stitches in 9 DMC colors (Medium Antique Blue 931, Very Dark Blue Green 500, Forest Green 989 and 6 more).
