Pattern description
This counted cross stitch pattern captures a delicate black butterfly resting on layered turquoise clouds against a serene sky-blue background. The 119 x 119 stitch count works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric, creating a medium-sized finished piece perfect for framed wall art or a decorative pillow cover. With 28 DMC thread colors and intermediate skill level, stitchers will appreciate the color blending and shading that brings depth to both the butterfly wings and puffy cloud formations.
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.
