About this pattern

A plain white cross standing in a strip of grass with a red poppy on each side. The cross is a simple upright cross with a little gray shading under its arms. Each poppy is a round red flower of four overlapping petals, darker red where they overlap, with a black middle and a small green seed head at its center, on a thin straight stalk. A dark brown outline runs round the cross, the flowers and the grass, and the left half mirrors the right exactly. No lettering and no date. The cross is stitched in white, so it shows best on fabric that is not white. Full crosses only.

63 stitches wide by 62 high: 1,860 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Winter White 3865, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Red 321 and 5 more).
