About this pattern

Two bull moose stand facing each other nose to nose, with a red heart low between them, level with their legs. Each moose is a flat dark brown silhouette in one thread: wide antlers with upright tines, a long drooping muzzle, a small bell hanging under the throat, a hump over the shoulders and four long legs. The two animals are exact mirror images and the heart sits on the center line. There is no outline and no ground. Full crosses only. It is 59 by 26 stitches and uses two thread colors.

59 stitches wide by 26 high: 707 full cross stitches in 2 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Red 321).
