Pattern description
This intermediate-level counted cross stitch captures a majestic spiral galaxy rendered in cool blues, purples, and cream tones against a dark starfield. The 108 x 108 stitch count creates a perfectly square composition where the galactic core glows luminously, with sweeping arms of blue and deeper violet extending across the canvas. Twenty-eight DMC thread colors blend seamlessly to achieve the cosmic depth and dimensionality visible in this celestial portrait.
Stitchers will appreciate the balanced challenge this pattern presents—complex enough to engage experienced needleworkers while remaining accessible to those expanding their skills. The jewel-toned palette of sapphires, teals, and warm cream transitions creates natural color blocking that guides the stitching process. Perfect for astronomy enthusiasts or anyone drawn to space-themed home décor, this galaxy design works beautifully framed as a standalone piece or incorporated into a larger cosmic needlework collection. The DMC thread chart includes everything needed for counted cross stitch on Aida fabric.
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.
