Pattern description
This 31×31 counted cross-stitch design features a cheerful portrait of a woman crowned with a bold red floral hat. The composition centers on her sweet face with blue eyes and rosy cheeks, framed by black hair and yellow earrings, rendered in 10 DMC thread colors that pop against the pale Aida ground.
The intermediate skill level makes this an ideal project for stitchers ready to move beyond simple patterns. The mix of solid color fills and detailed facial features offers satisfying progress without overwhelming complexity. Perfect as a standalone portrait or part of a larger ladies-themed needlework collection, this design works beautifully in a small frame or as an accent on a tote bag or pillow cover.
