Pattern description

A peaceful white dove takes flight in this counted cross-stitch design, rendered in soft blues and whites with delicate golden accents on its eye and wing. The 89 × 89 stitch count makes it a moderately challenging project, ideal for stitchers ready to tackle finer detail work on 14-count Aida fabric.

The cool, muted palette of 15 DMC thread colors creates a calming, meditative mood perfect for nurseries, meditation spaces, or as a thoughtful handmade gift. The dove's gentle pose and serene composition translate beautifully into needlework, rewarding patient stitching with a finished piece that radiates quiet grace and symbolic peace.
