Pattern description
This pixelated cross-stitch captures the iconic Cambodian temple in serene reflection, with its distinctive spired towers mirrored perfectly in still water below. The composition's vertical symmetry creates a meditative quality, while the 150 x 150 stitch count offers a substantial yet manageable needlework project. Cool blue water tones dominate the lower half, contrasting beautifully with the warm stone and green foliage of the temple structure.
Working with 30 DMC thread colors, intermediate stitchers will appreciate the intricate color blending that brings depth and dimension to both the architectural details and reflected landscape. The pattern's balanced complexity makes it ideal for framed wall art celebrating world heritage sites or as a meaningful gift for travelers and history enthusiasts. This counted cross stitch design works equally well on traditional Aida fabric, with its clear gridwork guiding each stitch toward a finished piece that captures the spiritual essence of one of Asia's most revered monuments.
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.
