About this pattern

A brick fireplace seen straight on, with three Christmas stockings hanging in a row from the wooden mantel shelf: red, green and red, each with a white cuff and its toe pointing right. Below them, in a dark arched opening, three red flames with gold hearts burn on a log. The wall is fully stitched in two orange-browns as a brick pattern, and a wooden step the same as the shelf runs across the bottom. A dark brown outline runs round the wall, the shelf, the step and the stockings. Full crosses only. It is 61 by 51 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

61 stitches wide by 51 high: 2,857 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Red Copper 919, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Copper 921 and 5 more).
