About this pattern

A red metal toolbox seen from the front, with three tools standing up from its top edge: a claw hammer with a gray steel head and a brown wooden handle, an open-end wrench in gray with its jaw up, and a screwdriver with its fluted yellow handle up. The box has a wide rim along the top, a square gold latch plate with a small dark square in it on the front, and a darker red shade along the bottom and down the right side. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 46 by 35 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

46 stitches wide by 35 high: 1,131 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Red 321, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Medium Garnet 815 and 4 more).
