About this pattern

A round snow globe with two small penguins standing side by side on the snow inside. Each penguin is black with a white front, an orange beak and orange feet, and sixteen single white snowflakes fall through the pale blue air around them. The glass has a dark outline and sits in a gold and red base. The left half mirrors the right exactly. Full crosses only. It is 39 by 43 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

39 stitches wide by 43 high: 1,361 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Baby Blue 3755, Black 310, Winter White 3865 and 4 more).
