About this pattern

Three oranges in a group: one at the back with a short stalk and two green leaves, a whole orange in front on the left and an orange cut in half on the right, its cut face turned toward you. The whole oranges are round, with a white bar of light at the upper left and a band of darker orange shade at the lower right. The cut face has a darker orange rind, a ring of white pith and eight orange segments parted by white walls that meet in a white middle. The two leaves are a mirrored pair, each light green above and dark green below. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only.

53 stitches wide by 43 high: 1,489 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Dark Autumn Gold 3853, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Copper 921 and 3 more).
