Pattern description
This counted cross stitch captures an infant's gentle gaze with striking emerald eyes and soft peachy-tan skin tones. The composition focuses intimately on the baby's face, rendered in 43 DMC thread colors that blend seamlessly across the 150 x 150 stitch count to create lifelike dimensionality and subtle shading.
The advanced skill level suits experienced stitchers comfortable with blending techniques and fine color transitions. Working on 14-count Aida fabric with the provided DMC color palette will yield a tender portrait ideal for nurseries, baby shower gifts, or as a keepsake commemorating infancy. The warm, muted color mood—dominated by peachy and golden hues with cool jewel-toned accents in the eyes—creates an approachable yet sophisticated needlework piece that complements both modern and traditional nursery décor.
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.
