About this pattern

Three glass bottles of milk standing in a slatted wooden crate. The bottles are the same shape, each full of white milk with a pale blue shade down its right side and clear glass at the neck, and each has a cap of another color: red, gold and blue. The crate is brown wood with two slats across the front and a post at each end, and the bottles show again in the gap between the slats. No lettering or brand. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 57 by 35 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

57 stitches wide by 35 high: 1,423 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Winter White 3865, Very Dark Hazelnut Brown 869 and 5 more).
