About this pattern

One fried egg seen from above: an uneven white with soft rounded bulges inside a dark brown outline, a thin gray shadow along its lower right edge, and one round orange yolk in the middle with a darker lower right side. Nothing in it mirrors, on purpose. Full crosses only. It is 22 by 22 stitches and uses five thread colors.

22 stitches wide by 22 high: 346 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Winter White 3865, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Dark Autumn Gold 3853 and 2 more).
