About this pattern

A solid red heart with a white ship's anchor in the middle of it. The anchor has a round ring with a small red opening, a level stock, a short shank and a curved crown with a pointed fluke at each end, every stroke two stitches thick. It mirrors left to right. No outline: the heart is red against the cloth and the anchor white against the red. Full crosses only. It is 32 by 30 stitches and uses two thread colors.

32 stitches wide by 30 high: 670 full cross stitches in 2 DMC colors (Red 321, Winter White 3865).
