About this pattern

A volleyball in blue, gold and white panels at the top of a net strung between two brown wooden posts on a strip of pale sand. The ball is round, with panels that turn like a pinwheel, and it overlaps the white tape along the top of the net. The net is a pale gray mesh of square holes with open space beneath it, and a post stands upright at each end. A dark brown outline runs round the ball, the tape, the posts and the sand. Full crosses only. It is 51 by 50 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

51 stitches wide by 50 high: 1,240 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Light Straw 3822, Winter White 3865 and 4 more).
