About this pattern

A small succulent in a terracotta pot, seen from the front. Six plump blue-green leaves, each ending in a pink point, make a rosette wider than the pot: one upright at the back, a leaning pair, a pair lying out to the sides and one upright in front. A row of darker green shades a leaf where it passes behind another. The pot has a rim band and tapers to its base, with a darker shade under the rim and down its right side. The plant mirrors left to right. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 29 by 32 stitches and uses six thread colors.

29 stitches wide by 32 high: 602 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Medium Blue Green 503, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Copper 921 and 3 more).
