About this pattern

A treehouse high in a big round tree. The hut has pale golden walls, a red roof, a window of four pale blue panes on the left and a brown door on the right, and sits on a brown wooden deck. A small red flag flies from a pole at the peak of the roof. A ladder with gold side ropes and four brown rungs hangs from the deck down to the grass. The canopy is in three greens, lighter along the top and left and darkest at the right, on a stout brown trunk over a low mound of grass. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 57 by 64 stitches and uses nine thread colors.

57 stitches wide by 64 high: 2,422 full cross stitches in 9 DMC colors (Hunter Green 3346, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Forest Green 989 and 6 more).
