About this pattern

A green frog peeks over a wide sign that reads WELCOME in dark capital letters. Its two big white eyes with square dark pupils stand up above its head, it has pink cheeks and a wide straight smile, and a round green hand grips the top edge of the sign at each side. Below the pale golden board the bottom of its body shows, with a pale green belly between two green feet. Dark brown outline. Apart from the word, the left half mirrors the right. Full crosses only. It is 51 by 34 stitches and uses six thread colors.

51 stitches wide by 34 high: 1,322 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Pale Golden Brown 3827, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Forest Green 989 and 3 more).
