About this pattern

Three round bright green peas with smiling faces sit side by side in an open pea pod. Each pea has two dark eyes with a small pale glint and a wide smile, and a pale glint on its brow; the three faces are alike. The pod is seen from the side, long and level with a point at each end: its near wall is a lighter green, its lit edge paler, and the dark green inside shows behind and between the peas. A short stalk turns up at the left end. Dark brown outline. The pod and the peas mirror left to right; only the stalk differs. Full crosses only. It is 55 by 19 stitches and uses six thread colors.

55 stitches wide by 19 high: 710 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Light Parrot Green 907, Forest Green 989 and 3 more).
