Pattern description
This counted cross stitch pattern features a striking Egyptian-inspired figure with expansive black wings, pale gray-blue face and headdress, and luminous golden accents. The symmetric composition and rich contrast create a bold focal point ideal for framed display. At 166 x 166 stitches, this advanced-skill design demands precision and patience, rewarding experienced needleworkers with a dramatic statement piece.
The color palette balances just four DMC thread colors to maximum effect: charcoal black dominates the wings and garment details, cool gray-blue establishes the figure's ethereal presence, warm gold highlights the ornamental collar and hands, and crisp white creates definition throughout. Perfect for those seeking a more sophisticated embroidery project, this pattern works beautifully on evenweave Aida fabric and translates into an striking decorative accent for gothic, mythological, or eclectic home interiors. The free printable PDF chart makes it accessible for dedicated stitchers ready to tackle complex patterning and varied thread densities.
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.
