About this pattern

A single spark plug standing upright. From the top: an old gold terminal, a white porcelain insulator with three ribs, shaded pale gray down its right side, a steel hex in three grays, a threaded shell in light and dark gray stripes, and at the tip a white center electrode with a dark gray ground electrode hooked under it from the right. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 17 by 48 stitches and uses six thread colors.

17 stitches wide by 48 high: 487 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Winter White 3865, Light Steel Gray 318 and 3 more).
