About this pattern

A white three-leaf shamrock in the middle of a plain green heart. The shamrock has three heart-shaped leaves and a straight stalk, all in white with no outline of their own, and the heart has a dark brown outline. The left half mirrors the right exactly. Full crosses only. It is 44 by 42 stitches and uses three thread colors.

44 stitches wide by 42 high: 1,288 full cross stitches in 3 DMC colors (Hunter Green 3346, Winter White 3865, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938).
