Pattern description

Capture the majesty of African wildlife with this 270×270 stitch counted cross stitch pattern featuring two lions rendered in a warm, golden palette. The composition presents both felines in profile against a glowing sky, their noble expressions and detailed manes brought to life through 29 DMC thread colors. The predominantly warm tones—ochres, golds, and soft creams—create an atmospheric savanna ambiance that feels both timeless and serene. This advanced-level pattern rewards experienced stitchers with intricate color blending and shading techniques that build depth and dimension across the expansive canvas.

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.
