About this pattern

A round Hanukkah piece for a hoop, an ornament or the front of a card: a gold menorah on a solid round of navy blue inside a thin gold ring. The menorah is drawn in a fine gold line one stitch wide: a straight middle stem on a two-step foot and four curved arms on each side, one inside the next. Nine white candles stand on it, eight level in a row and the ninth, on the middle stem, two rows higher, and each has a pale yellow tip for its light. No lettering is stitched. The whole round is stitched and there is no outline; the left half mirrors the right exactly. Full crosses only.

55 stitches wide by 55 high: 2,377 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Very Dark Navy Blue 939, Medium Topaz 783, Winter White 3865 and 1 more).
