About this pattern

Pattern description

This 119 x 119 cross-stitch pattern captures two ruby-red hearts mirrored across a dreamy pastel landscape of blues, pinks, and warm creams. The composition creates a sense of balance and symmetry, with each heart rendered in dimensional shading that gives them depth and subtle luminescence. Working through 30 DMC thread colors at an intermediate skill level, stitchers will enjoy the challenge of blending warm and cool tones to achieve the soft gradient backdrop that makes this design feel both romantic and modern.

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.
