About this pattern

A Viking longship under sail at sunset, stitched from edge to edge inside a circle. The brown ship sails to the left, with a dragon head with a gold eye on its tall prow, a curled stern post, one mast with a red and white striped square sail, and five round shields along the rail, three red and two gold. Behind it the sky is orange above and pale gold below, with a pale yellow sun low on the left; the sea is dark blue with lighter ripples and lines of sunlight. Dark brown outline round the ship only. Full crosses only. It is 59 by 59 stitches and uses ten thread colors.

59 stitches wide by 59 high: 2,733 full cross stitches in 10 DMC colors (Dark Antique Blue 930, Pale Golden Brown 3827, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 7 more).
