The cool, soft coloring suits modern home decor styles and pairs well with neutral wall displays.
Stitch planning checklist
- Measure your fabric against the stitch count to confirm finished size.

- Work in small blocks to keep counting accurate and spot mistakes early.
- Backstitch at the end of each session so outlines stay crisp.
