Pattern description
This 112x112 stitch counted cross stitch pattern captures a rich crimson book with elegant gold embroidered detailing and cream-colored pages. The isometric perspective creates striking dimension, making the classic tome appear to stand out from your fabric. With 23 DMC thread colors and intermediate skill level, stitchers will enjoy working the layered color transitions that give the book its sophisticated depth and dimensional appeal.
The warm jewel-tone palette—deep burgundy paired with golden yellows and ivory—makes this needlework ideal for literary-themed home décor, bookish gift projects, or adding vintage elegance to a study or library space. Perfect for framing above a bookshelf or desk, this cross stitch design works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric. The detailed color work and well-balanced composition ensure an engaging stitching experience that results in a polished, heirloom-quality finished piece.
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.
