Pattern description
This intermediate-level cross stitch pattern captures a reverent portrait of Christ in warm, earthy tones with a soft golden halo. The 120 x 120 stitch count provides a satisfying canvas-sized project that balances complexity with achievability. At 29 DMC thread colors, stitchers will enjoy rich shading across flesh tones, fabric draping, and the luminous heart symbol at the center.
The palette of warm reds, creams, and muted golds creates an inviting spiritual atmosphere perfect for framing in bedroom or prayer spaces. Working this counted cross stitch design on 14-count Aida fabric will yield a finished piece approximately 8.5 x 8.5 inches—ideal for smaller wall displays, gifts for clergy or devoted family members, or as part of a religious needlework collection. The intermediate skill level makes it accessible to experienced stitchers while remaining engaging throughout the project's arc.
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.
