About this pattern

Three houses in a row, stitched as a silhouette in one black thread inside a frame two stitches thick. On the left is a house with a pointed gable, in the middle a broad house with a chimney on its roof, and on the right a lower house with a stepped gable. Their windows and doors are left as bare fabric, as if lit, and the houses stand on a solid band along the bottom of the frame. There is no shading: only the shapes are stitched, on any light fabric. Full crosses only. It is 55 by 34 stitches and uses one thread color.

55 stitches wide by 34 high: 1,090 full cross stitches in 1 DMC color (Black 310).
