About this pattern

A red heart-shaped padlock, locked, with a small gold key standing beside it. The heart has a pink shine on its upper left, a darker red shade along its lower right side and a dark keyhole in the middle, and a gold shackle arches over it from one lobe to the other. The key stands upright on the right: a round bow with a square hole, a straight stem and two teeth at the foot. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 46 by 44 stitches and uses five thread colors.

46 stitches wide by 44 high: 984 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Red 321, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Medium Topaz 783 and 2 more).
