About this pattern

A child's toy train in primary colors, running to the right: a red engine with a blue cab roof, a yellow window, a blue chimney with a yellow top and one big green wheel, pulling two block wagons. The first wagon is blue with a pale yellow five-point star on its side and the second is pale yellow with a red heart. Short couplings join them, and every wheel is a whole green round with a yellow hub, two small ones under each wagon and one at the front of the engine. Dark brown outline. No lettering and no face. Full crosses only. It is 64 by 24 stitches and uses five thread colors.

64 stitches wide by 24 high: 1,164 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Pale Yellow 744, Dark Baby Blue 322 and 2 more).
