About this pattern

Three pieces of sushi set out on a brown wooden board with two short feet. In the middle is a piece of salmon nigiri: a slice of orange salmon with three slanting white lines over a block of white rice, shaded pale gray down its right side and along its foot. On each side of it stands a cut maki roll, with dark green seaweed round the outside and, on its cut top, white rice round a pale green filling, as in a cucumber roll. The two rolls match and the board mirrors left to right. A long low band for a kitchen card or a tea towel. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only.

64 stitches wide by 20 high: 958 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Very Dark Hazelnut Brown 869, Winter White 3865 and 4 more).
