About this pattern

Two solid red roosters stand beak to beak on a green ground line, exact mirror images of each other. Each has a comb of three square teeth, a beak, a wattle, a round body, two arched tail feathers and two legs. Between them a red heart stands on a green stem with a pair of green leaves. It is a wide, low strip in two threads. No words are drawn. Full crosses only. It is 64 by 29 stitches and uses two thread colors.

64 stitches wide by 29 high: 890 full cross stitches in 2 DMC colors (Red 321, Hunter Green 3346).
