About this pattern

Three snowdrops coming up through snow. Two green stems lean apart and arch over at the top, and from each hangs one nodding white flower: two long white petals around a short inner cup with a green rim. The flower on the left hangs lower than the one on the right. Beside the taller plant a closed white bud stands upright on a short stem, and four strap-shaped green leaves of different heights rise from the ground. A strip of pale blue-gray snow with no outline runs along the bottom. The plants have a dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 57 by 47 stitches and uses five thread colors.

57 stitches wide by 47 high: 1,146 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Forest Green 989, Very Light Antique Blue 3752 and 2 more).
