About this pattern

A treehouse on a wooden deck fixed between two trees. The hut has pale golden walls, a slate blue roof, a red door in the middle and a pale blue window on each side. A ladder with gold rungs hangs from the middle of the deck to the grass, and a brown brace props the deck against each trunk. The tree on the left has a brown trunk and a dark green crown with a lighter rim; the one on the right has a white trunk with dark bark marks, like a birch, and a lighter green crown. Both stand on a mound of grass. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 63 by 64 stitches and uses ten thread colors.

63 stitches wide by 64 high: 2,469 full cross stitches in 10 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Forest Green 989, Hunter Green 3346 and 7 more).
