About this pattern

A yellow dump truck seen from the side, facing right, with its empty bed tipped up at the front. The bed is a pale yellow box with a darker gold rim along its top edge; its back corner rests on a small gray hinge block on the frame and a gray ram holds it up behind the cab. The cab is pale yellow with a pale blue window, a gray grille and a gray bumper. Two big dark gray wheels with light gray hubs stand under a dark gray frame. A dark brown outline runs round every part. Full crosses only. It is 59 by 35 stitches and uses six thread colors.

59 stitches wide by 35 high: 1,028 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Pale Yellow 744, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Dark Pewter Gray 413 and 3 more).
