Did you know?
Gazelles are graceful antelopes native to Africa and Asia, known for their remarkable speed and agility across grasslands and semi-arid terrain. Their slender, long legs and lyre-shaped horns are distinctive adaptations for both swift escape and visual recognition. These social herbivores inhabit open savannas and scrublands, often gathered in small herds that can bound away at speeds exceeding 60 mph when threatened by predators.

Pattern description
A pair of golden-tan gazelles command this counted cross-stitch design, their slender bodies rendered in warm ochre and cream against a neutral background. The striking black horns curve dramatically upward, giving each animal a regal, alert stance. The composition balances both creatures asymmetrically, creating visual rhythm across the 99×99 stitch count.
Ten DMC thread colors build depth through careful shading, with white accents defining the gazelles' undersides and legs. The intermediate skill level suits stitchers ready to manage color transitions and fine detail work without overwhelming complexity.
This pattern works beautifully in a safari-themed room, nursery, or alongside other wildlife needlework. Its warm palette lends itself to natural wood frames and neutral décor, making it equally at home in a cabin aesthetic or modern minimalist space. The design is sized for display on 14-count Aida fabric, creating a finished piece roughly 7×7 inches that rewards focused stitching sessions.
