Pattern description
A clean, minimalist square composition featuring ten lines of Arabic calligraphy rendered in a rich forest green against a cream background. This 79 x 79 stitch counted cross stitch pattern uses just two DMC thread colors, making it an ideal beginner project that teaches fundamental stitching technique without overwhelming color changes. The symmetrical layout and tight grid create a meditative stitching experience perfect for those new to needlework.
This pattern celebrates the 99 Names of Allah through elegant green typography bordered by a delicate twisted vine frame. The straightforward two-color palette reduces material costs and minimizes mistakes, while the small finished size works beautifully framed as wall art, displayed on a shelf, or incorporated into Islamic home décor. Stitched on standard 14-count Aida fabric, the completed piece measures approximately 5.5 inches square—a compact needlework project ideal for gifting to family or keeping as a personal spiritual reminder. The crisp, legible lettering ensures the sacred text reads clearly from any distance.
Stitch planning checklist
- Measure your fabric against the stitch count to confirm finished size.
- Sort floss by symbol before you start; pre-thread a few needles for speed.
- Work in small blocks to keep counting accurate and spot mistakes early.
- Backstitch at the end of each session so outlines stay crisp.
