About this pattern

A small coconut palm seen from the side, standing in a low mound of golden sand. Six fronds arch out from the top of the trunk and droop at their tips, dark green with a lighter green upper edge, and two dark brown coconuts hang under them, one each side of the trunk. The straight slim trunk is brown with a dark ring every third row. There is no outline: the greens and the gold are stitched straight onto the cloth, so use a white or cream fabric. The left half mirrors the right exactly. Small: 322 stitches. Full crosses only. It is 28 by 32 stitches and uses five thread colors.

28 stitches wide by 32 high: 322 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Hunter Green 3346, Medium Old Gold 729, Forest Green 989 and 2 more).
