About this pattern

A round white cake decorated as a sleeping unicorn, on a gold cake board. A twisted gold horn stands on top between two white ears with pink insides, and a row of five round icing rosettes in aqua, lilac and pink runs across the front of the top. The face is two closed eyes with a pink cheek under each. But for the twist of the horn, the left half mirrors the right exactly. No lettering is drawn. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 45 by 44 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

45 stitches wide by 44 high: 1,238 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Winter White 3865, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Light Straw 3822 and 4 more).
