Pattern description
This 58 x 58 stitch counted cross-stitch pattern captures a gentle cherub in peachy tones and pale blue, clutching a vibrant red holly sprig. The composition centers the winged figure against a subtle cream background, creating a serene holiday focal point. With 27 DMC thread colors and intermediate skill level, it's sized perfectly for framing or finishing into a small ornament.
Stitchers appreciate the soft color palette—warm peachy flesh tones, cool blue garments, and touches of rich green and crimson—which gives this angel a vintage, understated elegance rather than bold holiday drama. The 58 x 58 count makes it manageable for needleworkers progressing beyond beginner projects without demanding advanced techniques. Worked on standard Aida fabric with the included DMC palette, it becomes a tender seasonal keepsake ideal for gift-giving or decorating a nursery, shelf, or holiday display where a quiet, heartfelt touch matters most.
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.
