Pattern description
Capture the energy of winter sports with this counted cross stitch pattern featuring a dynamic hockey player in soft pastel tones. The design showcases an athlete in mid-action, rendered in cool blues and mint greens against a neutral background. With 11 DMC thread colors and a modest 76×76 stitch count, this intermediate-level project delivers impressive visual impact without overwhelming complexity.

Perfect for framing or displaying as a small finished piece that captures the spirit of competitive play.
Stitch planning checklist
- Measure your fabric against the stitch count to confirm finished size.
