Pattern description
This intermediate-level pattern features a bold purple crown with striking turquoise highlights creating a frosty, dimensional effect. The 86 × 86 stitch count makes it an ideal size for framing or small home décor, while the geometric pom-pom texture adds visual interest without overwhelming complexity. With just six DMC thread colors, the design achieves impressive color depth and contrast.
Perfect for winter enthusiasts and needle artists seeking a seasonal project, this counted cross stitch pattern combines contemporary colorwork with classic hat imagery. The rich purple and cool cyan palette evokes crisp winter days and ice crystals, making it an excellent choice for December stitching or as a gift for someone who loves cool-weather aesthetics. The intermediate skill level provides enough challenge to keep experienced stitchers engaged while remaining accessible to those building their embroidery repertoire. Stitch this on 14-count Aida fabric for excellent definition, and the finished piece brings festive, jewel-toned elegance to any space year-round.
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.
