Pattern description
At 226 x 226 stitches, this counted cross stitch pattern captures a protective angel figure rendered in soft golden and warm sepia hues. The composition centers on an ethereal winged guardian watching over sleeping children below, with delicate details in the drapery and feathered wings creating depth across the design.
