Pattern description

This 110x110 stitch pattern brings a whimsical forest character to life through a vibrant palette of 29 DMC thread colors. The gnome's rich emerald jacket contrasts beautifully with the deep ruby red hat and pants, creating a jewel-toned composition that pops against the light linen background. His cheerful expression and quirky pose—proudly displaying a mushroom in a pot—make this an engaging intermediate-level counted cross stitch project that rewards attention to detail with striking visual impact. Stitchers will appreciate the balanced complexity of this design, which uses 29 distinct thread colors to build depth and character without overwhelming the needleworker. The composition's clear focal points—the gnome's face and the potted mushroom accessory—guide the eye naturally through the piece. Once completed on standard Aida fabric, this pattern creates a charming piece perfect for woodland-themed decor, fairy-tale enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a whimsical accent that celebrates garden folklore and seasonal magic.

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.
