About this pattern

Three small beach huts standing in a row on short stilts at the top of the sand: a red one, a turquoise one and a golden yellow one. Each has a pointed roof in its own color, walls in upright stripes of that color and white, and a door in the middle with a small dark handle. The three are the same hut in three paints, evenly spaced. Their stilts stand in a strip of pale sand, and in front of it a line of white foam in five scallops runs along a turquoise sea. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 64 by 42 stitches and uses six thread colors.

64 stitches wide by 42 high: 1,960 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Turquoise 597, Light Straw 3822 and 3 more).
