Pattern description

A cheerful sun face radiates outward in this 20×20 counted cross-stitch pattern, rendered in a bold primary-color palette that commands attention. The design centers on a large yellow circle framed by concentric layers of warm red-orange, creating a warm, energetic mood perfect for nurseries or playrooms.

Two bright blue eyes and a simple red mouth give the sun unmistakable character, transforming a simple celestial motif into a smiling personality. This beginner-friendly pattern uses just four DMC thread colors, making it ideal for stitchers new to counted cross-stitch who want instant visual impact without thread-color complexity.

Stitch this design on 14-count Aida for a finished piece around 1.5 inches square, or scale it up by using larger fabric counts for wall décor. The cheerful color blocking and small stitch count mean completion in a single sitting—perfect as a gift tag, small framed treasure, or introduction to needle arts.
