About this pattern

Three things a gentleman wears, stacked one above the other with no face drawn: a black top hat with a red band and a grey shine down the left of its crown, a curled black handlebar moustache, and a red bow tie with pleats. The moustache and the bow tie mirror left to right. Dark brown outline. A piece for a card, a bookmark top or a small hoop. Full crosses only. It is 27 by 51 stitches and uses six thread colors.

27 stitches wide by 51 high: 780 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Black 310, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Red 321 and 3 more).
