Pattern description
A serene seated figure draped in rich emerald and teal silks dominates this square 106 × 106 stitch pattern. The woman's graceful pose and upswept hair create classical elegance, while the warm peachy skin tones and gold accents contrast beautifully against the cool jewel-toned fabrics enveloping her form.
Advanced stitchers will appreciate the 44 DMC thread colors that bring dimensional depth to the flowing garments and subtle facial features. This counted cross stitch pattern works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric, offering needleworkers a meditative project that rewards patience with gallery-worthy results. The intricate color blending captures light and shadow across fabric folds, making it ideal for framing as living room artwork or gifting to textile enthusiasts who appreciate Indian-inspired motifs with authentic cultural richness.
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.
