About this pattern

A red steel truss bridge resting on two stone piers over a river, seen square from the side. The truss is a long low trapezoid: a level top chord and a longer deck joined by diagonals that zigzag from one to the other, leaving three upright and two upside-down triangular openings where the fabric shows. The steel is red, with dark garnet shade along the underside of the top chord and of the deck. Each pier is gray stone with a pale cap, a dark band under the cap and another near the water, and it steps out wider half way down.

62 stitches wide by 30 high: 1,094 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Baby Blue 3755, Red 321 and 5 more).
