About this pattern

A wedge of yellow holed cheese standing level, with its point to the left and its rounded rind to the right. The pale yellow top slopes up from the point in even steps and carries two flat oval holes. Below it the long cut face, in a slightly duller straw yellow, has one large round hole at the left, a smaller one in the middle and a half hole cut off by the base. The rind at the right end is a plain band of old gold with no holes. A dark brown outline runs all round the wedge and along each edge where two faces meet; the holes are a darker gold and carry no outline.

31 stitches wide by 19 high: 482 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Light Straw 3822, Pale Yellow 744, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 2 more).
