About this pattern

A pair of round glasses seen straight from the front. Two round lenses, each inside a thin dark brown wire rim, are joined by a straight bridge that sits above the middle of the lenses, and a short end piece stands out at each temple, one row below the bridge; the arms themselves are not drawn. The glass is pale blue, with a slanting band of white light at the upper left of each lens and a deeper blue along the lower right, the same way round on both lenses. Apart from that light and shade the left half mirrors the right exactly. Small: 234 stitches. Dark brown outline.

32 stitches wide by 12 high: 234 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Very Light Antique Blue 3752, Light Antique Blue 932 and 1 more).
