About this pattern

Two avocados: a whole one in its dark green skin and, in front of it to the right, the cut half of another with its stone. The whole fruit is a pear shape with a small dark stalk button on top and a stripe of lighter green down its left side; its right side is hidden behind the half. The half is cut side up: green at the rim, lighter green inside that and pale yellow in the middle, with a round brown stone low in the wide end and a curve of gold light on the stone's upper left. Both are the same size. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 40 by 33 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

40 stitches wide by 33 high: 1,012 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Pistachio Green 890, Pale Yellow 744, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 5 more).
