About this pattern

A blueprint of a rocket: white lines on a deep blue sheet with one corner folded over, and a yellow pencil lying along the bottom edge. The rocket is drawn in outline only, standing upright, with a pointed nose, a round window, a fin at each side and a nozzle at the foot, and it mirrors left to right. A dimension line with a tick at each end stands beside it and another lies under it. A thin white border line runs inside the edge of the sheet, and the title strip along the bottom is divided into three boxes that hold plain bars where words would go.

45 stitches wide by 51 high: 2,086 full cross stitches in 9 DMC colors (Medium Navy Blue 311, Winter White 3865, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 6 more).
