About this pattern

A person sits cross-legged in meditation, drawn as a dark navy silhouette with a gold outline: a round head, sloping shoulders, arms that reach down to rest on the knees with an open space between each arm and the body, and wide folded legs. Seven round dots, all the same size, run up the middle of the figure in the order of the seven chakras: red at the seat, then orange, yellow, green, pale blue and blue, with violet at the crown of the head. No face, hands or feet are drawn. The two sides mirror exactly. Full crosses only. It is 51 by 55 stitches and uses nine thread colors.

51 stitches wide by 55 high: 1,485 full cross stitches in 9 DMC colors (Very Dark Navy Blue 939, Medium Topaz 783, Forest Green 989 and 6 more).
