Pattern description
This intermediate-level cross-stitch captures the iconic pharaoh with striking jewel-toned details. The 130 x 130 stitch count features 29 DMC thread colors, combining rich golds with deep blues to recreate the ornate headdress and regal facial features of ancient Egypt's most famous ruler. The geometric striping of the nemes headdress creates natural visual rhythm, making this counted cross-stitch project engaging for stitchers ready to move beyond beginner patterns.
The warm gold tones contrasted against cool blue accents give this needlework piece an elegant, museum-quality appearance suitable for framed display or heirloom collection. Whether you're a history enthusiast, ancient Egypt devotee, or needle artist seeking a meaningful project, this pattern delivers visual impact through careful color placement and traditional embroidery technique. Stitched on Aida fabric with the provided DMC thread palette, the result becomes a sophisticated home décor accent or thoughtful gift for anyone fascinated by pharaonic history and fine needlework.
Stitch planning checklist
- Measure your fabric against the stitch count to confirm finished size.
