Pattern description
This bold counted cross stitch pattern captures Everton's iconic crest in striking cobalt blue and gold, featuring the historic tower emblem centered on a shield-shaped design. The 114 x 114 stitch count creates a perfectly proportioned square pattern suitable for framing or pillow covers, with the years 1878 and 1879 flanking the architectural landmark. The color scheme—deep sapphire paired with bright golden accents—evokes the club's traditional palette and creates strong visual contrast that translates beautifully to Aida fabric.
Stitchers of intermediate skill will find this design manageable, requiring just four DMC thread colors to complete. The geometric shield outline and horizontal striping of the tower motif offer straightforward stitching sequences, making it an excellent choice for those comfortable with counted cross stitch basics but seeking a satisfying football-themed project. The palette's richness means colors remain vibrant without requiring excessive thread blending.
Perfect for devoted Everton supporters or football enthusiasts, this heritage embroidery makes a memorable gift that celebrates over 140 years of club history. Frame it for a match-day room, incorporate it into a cushion cover, or display it as part of a sports memorabilia collection. The free printable PDF chart lets you begin your needlework journey immediately, stitching a piece that honors football tradition and craftsmanship simultaneously.
