About this pattern

A white seahorse in side view, facing left, on an upright panel stitched solid in dark teal. It is one plain white shape: a head with a long snout and a small teal eye, a rounded belly, a small pointed fin on its back and a tail curled into a coil. A thin white line runs round the panel just inside its edge, and the four corners of the panel are clipped by one stitch. There is no outline thread and no shading. Full crosses only. It is 33 by 49 stitches and uses two thread colors.

33 stitches wide by 49 high: 1,613 full cross stitches in 2 DMC colors (Ultra Very Dark Turquoise 3808, Winter White 3865).
