About this pattern

Three tulips standing in a row on one ground line: a red one on the left, a taller yellow one in the middle and a pink one on the right. Each flower is a cup closed into three points, in two shades of its color, on a straight green stalk with a pair of broad green leaves at its foot. A dark brown outline runs round every flower, stalk and leaf, and the ground is a single dark line. Full crosses only. It is 43 by 29 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

43 stitches wide by 29 high: 691 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Forest Green 989, Light Salmon 761 and 5 more).
