Pattern description
This 115 x 115 stitch counted cross stitch pattern captures a contemplative portrait in warm, earthy browns and creams, rendered with impressive dimensional shading across 16 DMC thread colors. The gentle downward gaze and flowing beard create a serene, devotional quality that translates beautifully through needlework.

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.
