About this pattern

A small turquoise car seen from the side, facing right, with a red canoe carried upside down on its roof rack; the canoe is longer than the car and overhangs both ends. Two dark straps cross the canoe above the two bars of the rack. The car has three pale blue windows, gray wheels in dark tires, a red tail light and a gold headlight, and it stands on a strip of green grass. Dark brown outline; the grass has none. Full crosses only. It is 59 by 29 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

59 stitches wide by 29 high: 1,186 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Dark Turquoise 3810, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Forest Green 989 and 5 more).
