About this pattern

A pale wooden spoon standing upright with its bowl at the top and a heart cut clean through the bowl, so the bare fabric shows through the heart-shaped hole. The oval bowl runs down through a narrow neck into a long straight handle with a rounded end. A band of darker gold shade follows the right-hand edge from the bowl to the foot of the handle. Dark brown outline all round the spoon and round the cut edge of the heart. Full crosses only. It is 19 by 53 stitches and uses three thread colors.

19 stitches wide by 53 high: 492 full cross stitches in 3 DMC colors (Pale Golden Brown 3827, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Medium Old Gold 729).
