Pattern description
A charming counted cross stitch interpretation of the iconic Eiffel Tower rendered in cool gray and black thread colors. The pixel-art composition captures the monument's elegant proportions in a compact 16 x 16 stitch count, making it an ideal beginner-friendly project. With just two DMC thread colors to manage, stitchers can complete this piece quickly while building confidence in basic cross stitch techniques.

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.
