About this pattern

A brown rabbit looks out of the top of a red Christmas stocking. It shows head and shoulders: two upright ears lined with pink, dark eyes with a white glint, a white muzzle and a pink nose. A sprig of holly lies across the stocking's white cuff: a spiny green leaf on each side with a pale rib along its middle, and two red berries between them. The stocking is red with a white toe and a white heel, and its foot points to the left. The cuff and the holly mirror left to right. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 41 by 63 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

41 stitches wide by 63 high: 1,642 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Very Dark Hazelnut Brown 869, Red 321, Winter White 3865 and 4 more).
