Pattern description
Saint George astride his prancing white steed dominates this intermediate-to-advanced counted cross-stitch design, rendered in a warm, earthy palette of 40 DMC colors. The knight's red cape billows dramatically against the golden-brown sky while his spear pierces the dark dragon below, creating a dynamic diagonal composition full of movement and heroic tension. At 120×120 stitches, this pattern offers substantial stitching depth with careful color gradation in the horse's musculature, the knight's armor, and the serpent's scales—an engaging project for needleworkers seeking both technical challenge and iconic religious imagery.
