About this pattern

A black and white soccer ball set in the middle of a big red heart: a way to say you love the game without a word. The ball has a black five-sided patch in the middle with its point up, five black patches at the rim and white panels between them, inside a round black outline. The heart is plain red with a black outline, a notch at the top and one point at the bottom, and the left half mirrors the right exactly. The whole piece is stitched solid. No team colors, crest or lettering are drawn. Full crosses only. It is 55 by 53 stitches and uses three thread colors.

55 stitches wide by 53 high: 1,977 full cross stitches in 3 DMC colors (Red 321, Black 310, Winter White 3865).
