About this pattern

A white castle on a rounded green hill. A long hall with a blue roof, a row of four dark windows and an arched brown door stands between a short turret on the left and a tall slender tower on the right. Each has a steep blue cone roof with a red pennant flying to the right from a pole on its tip, and narrow dark window slits: one on the turret and two on the tower. A straight pale yellow path runs down the hill from the door between four dark green pointed trees, two on each side. A dark brown outline runs round every part. Full crosses only.

60 stitches wide by 63 high: 1,694 full cross stitches in 9 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Forest Green 989, Winter White 3865 and 6 more).
