About this pattern

A pair of gold bells hung from one red ribbon. The bow is tied at the top with a square knot between two big loops, a bell hangs under each loop, and the end of the ribbon hangs straight down between the bells, cut in a swallowtail. Each bell has a narrow crown, a waist that flares to a wide lip and a round clapper showing below, with a pale yellow streak of light down its left and a darker gold shade down its right. A dark brown outline runs round every part. Full crosses only. It is 32 by 25 stitches and uses five thread colors.

32 stitches wide by 25 high: 516 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Red 321, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Medium Topaz 783 and 2 more).
