About this pattern

A red Christmas stocking with a wide white cuff, its toe pointing right, with one white five-point star on the leg and a green heel and toe. A brown teddy bear looks out over the cuff, with round ears, two dark eyes and a pale muzzle with a dark nose, and a red and white striped candy cane stands up beside him. A dark brown outline runs round every part. Full crosses only. It is 48 by 63 stitches and uses six thread colors.

48 stitches wide by 63 high: 1,968 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Red 321, Winter White 3865, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 3 more).
