Pattern description
This counted cross-stitch pattern brings together symbolism and geography in a striking composition: a white dove in flight overlays a richly colored globe rendered in jewel-toned blues, greens, and yellows. The 123×123 stitch count and 30 DMC thread colors make this an intermediate project ideal for stitchers ready to blend intricate color work with meaningful imagery. The palette—deep ocean blues transitioning to vibrant emerald continents—creates visual depth and contemplative mood. Perfect for peace-themed displays, gift-giving, or as a statement piece in a meditation or office space, this pattern offers both technical satisfaction and uplifting visual impact on standard Aida fabric.
