About this pattern

A round-bellied blue bowl heaped with five red cherries that stand above its brim: three in a row in front, resting on the lip, and two behind and above them. The two on top are joined by thin green stalks that meet under a matching pair of green leaves. Every cherry is the same size, with a white gloss mark at its upper left and a darker red shade at its lower right. The bowl is a muted blue with a thick lip and a small foot, darker blue down its right side. Dark brown outline round the fruit, the leaves and the bowl. Full crosses only. It is 47 by 62 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

47 stitches wide by 62 high: 1,459 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Medium Antique Blue 931, Red 321, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 5 more).
