About this pattern

Three red roses in a wicker basket with a tall arched handle. The roses sit one above two, each a round bloom with its petals wound as a darker red spiral, with a spray of green leaves at each side of the top rose and a little dark green leaf between the blooms. The basket is pale golden brown with a weave of short brown stakes, a brown rim band and a brown foot, and its brown hoop handle arches clear over the flowers. Apart from the spiral of the top rose the two sides mirror exactly. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 41 by 42 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

41 stitches wide by 42 high: 1,202 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Very Dark Hazelnut Brown 869, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Pale Golden Brown 3827 and 4 more).
