Pattern description
This counted cross stitch pattern captures a striking portrait in warm russets, golds, and terracotta hues. The design features a woman's face rendered in pixel art style, with bold makeup and voluminous hair creating a glamorous, retro-inspired aesthetic. At 120 x 120 stitches, this intermediate-level project uses 25 DMC thread colors to build depth and dimension across the composition.
The warm color palette—dominated by deep reds, burnt oranges, and cream highlights—creates an inviting, vintage atmosphere perfect for home décor in spaces with warm wood tones or eclectic gallery walls. Stitchers will find this intermediate pattern offers satisfying progress with its manageable size while still demanding attention to color placement and shading. The finished piece works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric and makes a memorable gift for portrait enthusiasts or anyone who appreciates bold, artistic needlework.
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.
