About this pattern

A round scene, stitched edge to edge: a yellow typewriter on a wooden desk against a pale blue wall, with a red mug steaming beside it. A sheet of paper stands in the carriage with six short gray lines on it, drawn as plain bars, not letters. The typewriter has a dark roller between two yellow knobs, a dark slot, three rows of dark gray keys and a dark space bar. The mug has a small square handle and two wisps of white steam. The desk is brown with a lighter edge along its top. Dark brown outline. For a 5 inch hoop on 14 count. Full crosses only.

61 stitches wide by 61 high: 2,933 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Light Antique Blue 932, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Very Dark Hazelnut Brown 869 and 5 more).
