About this pattern

A red heart with two small dark eyes, wearing a pale blue face mask. The mask has two darker pleat lines and white elastic running out to each side of the heart. A pink highlight curves round the upper left of the heart. Dark brown outline round the heart and the mask. Nothing is written on it, and bare cloth is left all round for a stitcher's own year or initials. A small keepsake of the pandemic. Full crosses only. It is 32 by 30 stitches and uses six thread colors.

32 stitches wide by 30 high: 674 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Red 321, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Very Light Antique Blue 3752 and 3 more).
