Pattern description
This 19x19 stitch counted cross stitch pattern captures a sad emoticon rendered in warm golden yellows, oranges, and browns with striking blue tears. The diamond-shaped composition uses 16 DMC thread colors to create dimension and emotion, making it an intermediate-level needlework project that balances technical skill with satisfying results.
The warm color palette of burnt orange, honey yellow, and cream gives this typically melancholic emoji an unexpectedly cozy, autumnal feel. Perfect for stitchers who want to explore emotion through needlework, this pattern works beautifully on Aida fabric and comes as a free printable PDF chart, making it accessible for crafters looking to create meaningful embroidery pieces that express vulnerability or empathy. The relatively small stitch count keeps the project manageable while the multiple color changes offer rewarding variety throughout the stitching process.
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.
