Pattern description
This 120x120 counted cross-stitch pattern captures a serene portrait rendered in 30 DMC thread colors, with a distinctly calm, vintage-inspired aesthetic. The soft palette of creams, dusty roses, and cool turquoise tones creates a gentle, nostalgic mood enhanced by the delicate pink bow adorning the subject's dark hair. The intermediate skill level makes this needlework project accessible to stitchers with foundational experience, offering enough color variation to develop technique without overwhelming complexity. Perfect for framing as bedroom décor or gifting to cross-stitch enthusiasts who appreciate portraiture, this design works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric and pairs well with coordinating thread organizers.
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.
