About this pattern

A tall navy blue Christmas tree drawn as one stepped triangle, with a gold five-point star on its tip, two large white snowflakes down the middle, five small white dots of snow around them and a short brown trunk. There is no outline, and the left side mirrors the right. It uses four thread colors.

45 stitches wide by 52 high: 1,096 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Medium Navy Blue 311, Winter White 3865, Medium Topaz 783 and 1 more).
