Pattern description
This counted cross stitch pattern captures a serene outdoor view through an open window with vibrant coral-red framing that immediately draws the eye. The composition features soft blue sky visible through two windowpanes separated by a warm brown central divider, with cheerful green shrubs and golden-yellow foliage creating depth and natural interest in the scene below.
The 111 x 111 stitch count makes this an accessible intermediate project that works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric. With 17 DMC thread colors creating subtle transitions from pale pastels to warm earth tones, stitchers will appreciate the blend of calming light blues and greens balanced against the bold, saturated reds of the windowsill and frame.
Perfect for adding a touch of sunshine to any room, this window motif makes an ideal framed piece for bedrooms, bathrooms, or craft spaces where cheerful, optimistic décor is desired. The free printable PDF chart simplifies color selection, and the intermediate skill level provides rewarding progress without overwhelming complexity, making it an excellent choice for needleworkers seeking a meaningful project with quick completion potential.
Stitch planning checklist
- Measure your fabric against the stitch count to confirm finished size.

- Work in small blocks to keep counting accurate and spot mistakes early.
