Pattern description
The bold three-cross composition dominates this jewel-toned heraldic design, rendered in striking reds, golds, and ocean blues. At 143 × 143 stitches across 14 DMC thread colors, this intermediate-skill pattern combines the solemn geometry of Christian symbolism with maritime heritage imagery—a sailing ship anchored in gentle waters beneath a rippling banner. The yellow border studded with green cypress trees frames the shield, while the red ribbon banner below proclaims "MAYO" in crisp white capitals, grounding the piece in Irish regional pride and making it an ideal heirloom gift for anyone with County Mayo ancestry or deep ties to Irish culture.
