About this pattern

A tall bookmark of the Saturn V moon rocket at lift-off, seen from the side. The white rocket steps in twice on its way up to a small white capsule over a gray band, with a thin escape tower at the very top and dark bars and rings marking the stages. Two small gray fins stand at the foot, three gray engine bells hang below, and an orange flame with a pale yellow heart points down from them. A dark brown outline runs round every part, and the left half mirrors the right exactly. There is no flag, badge or lettering. Full crosses only. It is 25 by 91 stitches and uses five thread colors.

25 stitches wide by 91 high: 1,071 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Winter White 3865, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Pearl Gray 415 and 2 more).
