About this pattern

The head and shoulders of a surgeon looking straight at you over a surgical mask. A teal scrub cap with a darker band comes down to the brows, and a round white lamp sits at the middle of the forehead on a dark strap across the cap: a surgeon's headlight, which can also be read as a doctor's head mirror. Between cap and mask show two dark eyes, each with a white glint, two short brows and a small ear at each side. The mask is pale blue-green with a darker hem and two pleat lines and covers the nose, mouth and chin; below it are the neck and the V neck of a teal scrub top.

31 stitches wide by 43 high: 1,035 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Dark Turquoise 3810, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Light Tawny 951 and 3 more).
