About this pattern

A red pickup truck seen from the side, facing right, with a green fir tree standing in its bed and a dog looking out of the big cab window. The dog has a gold face, brown drop ears, a white muzzle and a dark nose, behind pale blue glass. The truck has a rounded cab roof, a door handle, a dark red sill and fender arches, a gold lamp at the nose, a small gray bumper at each end and two gray wheels with white hubcaps. The tree is a cone striped in two greens, with no trunk showing and no star or baubles. Dark brown outline round every part. Full crosses only.

64 stitches wide by 35 high: 1,286 full cross stitches in 10 DMC colors (Red 321, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Dark Pewter Gray 413 and 7 more).
