Pattern description
This counted cross-stitch pattern captures three nested Russian dolls rendered in vibrant orange, crimson red, and turquoise—a bold color palette that brings traditional matryoshka imagery to life. Each doll features delicate floral embroidery details across the white bodice, creating visual depth within the geometric pixel structure.

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.
