About this pattern

A red convertible car with the top down, seen from the side and facing left. The long red body has a lighter red line along its top and a darker red sill, one door with a small gray handle, a pale headlight at the nose and a dark red tail light. Above the door line there are only a raked pale blue windshield, a pale seat with its headrest and the folded top lying behind it. It has two gray wheels with pale hubs and a gray bumper at each end. No badge or lettering is drawn. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 64 by 22 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

64 stitches wide by 22 high: 872 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Red 321, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Dark Pewter Gray 413 and 5 more).
