About this pattern

A yellow rubber duck floating in a blue bathtub. Only its big round head, flat orange bill, level back and upturned tail show above the white rim; its dark eye has one white glint. The tub is deep and rounded, with a rim that overhangs at both ends, and stands on two gold ball feet. Three soap bubbles float above, each a pale blue ring with a white middle. A dark brown outline runs round the duck, the tub and its feet. Full crosses only. It is 39 by 41 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

39 stitches wide by 41 high: 972 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Dark Baby Blue 322, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Winter White 3865 and 4 more).
