About this pattern

Three open sunflowers standing side by side in one strip of brown earth, the middle one taller. Each has pale yellow petals, a gold ring and a brown seed center, on a straight green stalk with a pair of leaves. Outlined in dark brown, and the left side mirrors the right. It is 63 by 51 stitches and uses six thread colors.

63 stitches wide by 51 high: 1,683 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Pale Yellow 744, Very Dark Hazelnut Brown 869 and 3 more).
