About this pattern

A violin standing upright, seen from the front, with its bow standing beside it on the right. The body is copper brown with a waist, two dark f-holes, a white bridge and a dark tailpiece; the dark fingerboard carries two white strings up to a darker brown neck and scroll with four pegs. The bow is taller than the violin, with white hair along a brown stick and a dark block near the bottom. A dark brown outline runs round both. Full crosses only. It is 26 by 55 stitches and uses four thread colors.

26 stitches wide by 55 high: 732 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Copper 921, Winter White 3865 and 1 more).
