About this pattern

An old red pickup truck seen from the side, facing left, carrying a green fir tree laid in its bed with the tip hanging out over the tailgate. The truck has a tall cab with one pale blue window, darker red fenders and sill, a white headlight, a grey bumper and two wheels with dark grey tyres, white walls and grey hubs. A short brown trunk shows between the cab and the tree. A dark brown outline one stitch wide runs round the truck. Full crosses only. It is 64 by 36 stitches and uses nine thread colors.

64 stitches wide by 36 high: 1,389 full cross stitches in 9 DMC colors (Red 321, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Dark Pewter Gray 413 and 6 more).
