About this pattern

A round picture stitched edge to edge inside a dark ring. A plump, fluffed robin faces left on two thin legs on top of a white snow drift, with an orange face and breast, a brown crown, back and tail, a white belly, a dark eye and a dark bill. White dots of falling snow are scattered over a blue sky. No lettering. Full crosses only. It is 43 by 43 stitches and uses five thread colors.

43 stitches wide by 43 high: 1,457 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Dark Baby Blue 322, Winter White 3865, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 2 more).
