About this pattern

A retro rocket ship flying level to the right. It has a teal hull with three round pale blue portholes in a row, a white collar and a red nose cone, a pale blue glass bubble canopy on top with a white glint, and a swept-back red fin above and below the tail. A gray engine nozzle at the back gives out a short flame in yellow and orange. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 57 by 31 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

57 stitches wide by 31 high: 838 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Dark Turquoise 3810, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Red 321 and 5 more).
