Pattern description
This counted cross-stitch pattern captures a steaming coffee cup in jewel-toned blues and warm golden highlights. The design uses a palette of 25 DMC thread colors to render depth and dimension, with the rich cobalt and teal base contrasting beautifully against the luminous golden-yellow interior and handle accent.
At 73 × 73 stitches, this intermediate-level needlework offers a satisfying middle ground—detailed enough to feel rewarding without demanding expert precision. The coffee cup's simple, iconic form makes it forgiving to stitch, while the color transitions and shading demand careful attention to achieve the three-dimensional effect visible in the finished piece.
Perfect for kitchen décor or as a gift for coffee enthusiasts, this pattern works equally well on 14-count Aida with DMC floss or as part of a larger mug-and-beverage series. Its warm yet sophisticated color story suits both modern and traditional kitchen aesthetics, making it a versatile addition to any stitcher's portfolio.
