About this pattern

A round picture of a gray rhino's head and neck in profile, facing left, against a flat warm peach-orange sky. A tall white horn rises from the end of the nose with a shorter white horn behind it; a small dark eye with a white glint sits under the second horn, and an upright ear with a dark gray hollow stands at the back of the head. A straight mouth line and a dark gray shadow under the jaw mark the muzzle, a fold line runs down behind the jaw, and a lighter gray highlight follows the top of the neck. The picture is stitched edge to edge inside a dark brown ring two stitches wide.

45 stitches wide by 45 high: 1,597 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Pale Golden Brown 3827, Light Steel Gray 318, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 3 more).
