Pattern description
This 90x90 stitch counted cross-stitch pattern captures a gentle elephant in cool tones, featuring a serene blue body with warm coral and golden yellow highlights. The intermediate skill level makes it accessible to stitchers ready to move beyond beginner basics, with 21 DMC thread colors creating depth and dimension across the Aida canvas.

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.
