About this pattern

A gold bell under a red ribbon bow, drawn as a stained glass window with a rounded top. Black lead lines part every pane and close the frame. The bell has a round crown, an upright waist and sides that flare to a wide lip, with the round end of the clapper showing below; the bow has two red loops that narrow to a red knot. The glass behind is bright blue above a level bar and deeper blue below, with a pale blue strip along the sill. Every stitch inside the frame is stitched, and the left side mirrors the right exactly. Full crosses only. It is 31 by 53 stitches and uses six thread colors.

31 stitches wide by 53 high: 1,537 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Black 310, Medium Electric Blue 996, Deep Canary 972 and 3 more).
