Pattern description
This 100x100 stitch portrait captures a woman with flowing dark brunette hair, rendered in warm earth tones and muted peachy flesh tones that give the needlework a soft, nostalgic quality. The composition focuses on the subject's face and shoulders against a pale background, creating an intimate and refined aesthetic. With 17 DMC thread colors and intermediate skill level, this counted cross stitch pattern rewards careful attention to color transitions and shading, making it ideal for stitchers ready to tackle realistic portraiture without overwhelming complexity. The finished piece works beautifully as wall art in a bedroom, study, or gallery wall celebrating portraiture, and makes a meaningful gift for someone who appreciates classical needlework executed in contemporary materials.
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.
