Did you know?
Impalas are medium-sized African antelopes known for their striking backward-curving horns and lean, muscular build. They're incredibly agile jumpers, capable of leaping up to ten feet high and traveling at speeds around 50 miles per hour—remarkable adaptations that help them evade predators across the savannas and open woodlands where they graze. Males are notably territorial and often spar with their horns in displays of dominance.

Pattern description
This warmly-toned impala cross-stitch design features earthy oranges and deep charcoal accents that create a striking safari aesthetic. The 125×125 stitch count makes it an ideal intermediate-level project, manageable enough for confident stitchers yet detailed enough to feel rewarding. The palette of 20 DMC thread colors builds rich dimension across the antelope's body and iconic spiraling horns.
Framing the impala is a classic repeating Greek key border in complementary orange and cream, lending a refined, geometric formality to the wildlife subject. Perfect for animal lovers or African-themed decor, this counted cross-stitch pattern works beautifully on Aida fabric and would make an excellent framed wall accent or decorative keepsake gift. The warm color mood pairs well with rustic or earthy home furnishings.
