Pattern description
A striking composition pairs a bold crimson moon with a black fisherman silhouette, set against a cool deep blue night sky. The 112 x 112 stitch pattern captures an atmospheric moment, blending warm and cool tones for dramatic visual impact. This intermediate-level needlework uses 16 DMC thread colors to build depth and dimension across the design.
Stitchers will appreciate the balanced challenge this pattern offers—the large circular moon provides meditative cross-stitch sections, while the detailed fisherman figure demands precision in black thread placement. The serene lakeside reflection adds complexity to the composition. Perfect for framing as a standalone piece or incorporating into textile art, this counted cross stitch design works beautifully on standard Aida fabric. The color contrast makes it an ideal gift for fishing enthusiasts, nature lovers, or anyone seeking contemplative evening-themed wall decor. The free printable PDF chart includes all DMC color specifications for seamless stitching.
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.
