About this pattern

Half an avocado, cut side up: a pear shape with a small rounded top that widens to a round bottom, a thin dark skin, flesh that runs from dark green at the skin through mid green to pale green in the middle, and one big round brown stone sitting low in the wide end with a curve of gold light on its upper left. Full crosses only. It is 23 by 30 stitches and uses six thread colors.

23 stitches wide by 30 high: 498 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Light Yellow Green 3348, Hunter Green 3346, Forest Green 989 and 3 more).
