About this pattern

A black and white Holstein dairy cow standing side-on in her pasture, in a fully stitched round for a hoop. She faces right: a white coat with two big black patches, a black ear, a small pale horn, a dark eye, a pink muzzle, a pink udder, black hooves and a tail that hangs straight down behind her and ends in a black tip. Behind her the level green field meets a blue sky with one white cloud. The whole circle is stitched, sky and grass included: 2,561 stitches. Dark brown outline round the cow; the round itself has none. No lettering. Full crosses only.

57 stitches wide by 57 high: 2,561 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Baby Blue 3755, Forest Green 989, Winter White 3865 and 3 more).
