About this pattern

Two small matching squares side by side, each inside its own checked edge of red and pink with a red square at every corner. The left square holds a ripe strawberry with a green cap and stalk, eight pale yellow seeds and a darker red shade down its right side. The right square holds a white strawberry blossom with five round petals and a pale yellow middle, held by its dark brown outline. Each one sits in the middle of its square with bare cloth round it, and both checked edges are closed on all four sides. Full crosses only.

65 stitches wide by 31 high: 875 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Red 321, Medium Melon 3706, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 4 more).
