Pattern description
This 94 x 94 stitch counted cross-stitch pattern captures a romantic vision with a jewel-toned heart in shades of crimson, pink, and coral, pierced by two golden arrows in opposing directions. The bold, dimensional heart uses rich red tones that graduate smoothly across the design, while metallic gold accents add warmth and elegance to the composition.
Rated as an intermediate project, this needlework combines 22 DMC thread colors to achieve depth and shading within the heart's form. The balanced arrow motifs create dynamic movement, making this ideal for stitchers comfortable with color transitions and gradient work. Perfect for Valentine's Day display or as a romantic gift, the pattern works beautifully on standard Aida fabric and produces a finished piece that celebrates love's piercing beauty with sophisticated color harmony.
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.
