About this pattern

A teal Hawaiian shirt laid flat and seen from the front. It has short wide sleeves, an open collar with two lapels that meet in a V, a darker teal button band down the middle with five white buttons, and a straight hem. Six white hibiscus flowers are printed on it: two large ones on each front, one above the other, and a smaller one at each shoulder. Each flower has five white petals, a red center and a gold stamen standing up the top petal. The shirt is the same left and right. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 63 by 53 stitches and uses six thread colors.

63 stitches wide by 53 high: 2,327 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Dark Turquoise 3810, Winter White 3865, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 3 more).
