About this pattern

A fat red toadstool made into a little house. The red cap has four round white spots, a round window lit pale yellow with crossed glazing bars in the middle, and a cream chimney standing at the upper right. The cream stalk below holds an arched brown wooden door with one gold knob. A small red toadstool with two white spots grows on each side, and everything stands on a strip of green grass. A dark brown outline runs round every part. Full crosses only. It is 39 by 37 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

39 stitches wide by 37 high: 969 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Red 321, Light Tawny 951 and 4 more).
