Pattern description
This intermediate-level counted cross-stitch pattern captures a serene young face rendered in delicate pastels and warm neutrals. The 95 x 95 stitch composition features soft peach tones, cream, and subtle pink accents that create an ethereal quality perfect for modern décor. With 17 DMC thread colors and a balanced difficulty level, stitchers can achieve realistic facial features and gentle shading without overwhelming complexity. The portrait works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric and makes a thoughtful handmade gift for art enthusiasts or a charming addition to a bedroom or nursery wall.
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.
