Pattern description
This intermediate cross-stitch pattern captures a richly-colored Irish Setter in profile against a vivid blue sky, with white clouds and green grassland completing the scene. The 138 x 138 stitch count provides an engaging project size that balances detail with manageability, while the palette of 30 DMC thread colors brings depth and dimension to the dog's warm russet coat.
The composition showcases the Irish Setter's elegant stance and flowing coat texture, with careful shading that creates realistic dimension across the brown tones. Perfect for dog lovers and needlework enthusiasts, this counted cross-stitch design works beautifully on standard Aida fabric and makes a rewarding gift for anyone who appreciates sporting dog breeds or classic countryside scenes. The bright, cheerful color mood—from the sunny sky to the golden grass—ensures this piece will brighten any room's décor while serving as a testament to your needlework skills.
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.
