About this pattern

A retro wooden television set seen from the front, standing on two splayed legs. Two antenna rods rise in a V from the middle of the top. The screen, on the left, has rounded corners and shows nothing but static: short white and light gray flecks scattered over dark gray. To its right are two round cream dials, one above the other, each with a short pointer, and two speaker slots below them. The cabinet, the legs and the antenna mirror left to right. No picture, numbers or lettering are drawn. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 49 by 54 stitches and uses six thread colors.

49 stitches wide by 54 high: 1,660 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Very Dark Hazelnut Brown 869, Dark Pewter Gray 413, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 3 more).
