Pattern description
This intermediate counted cross stitch features a striking silhouette of a woman's profile tilted back, crowned by an artfully arranged stack of folded fabrics in rich jewel and earth tones. The composition creates dynamic visual interest through layered geometric shapes—deep crimsons, warm golds, slate grays, and navy blues blend seamlessly in the fabric pile, while the bold black silhouette grounds the design with strong contrast.
At 101 x 101 stitches, this pattern works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric and incorporates 11 DMC thread colors, making it an engaging mid-level project that rewards careful attention to color placement. The warm, saturated palette evokes a cozy, artistic sensibility—perfect for stitching as a gift for crafters, textile artists, or anyone who appreciates fashion and handmade needlework. Once framed, it adds personality and warmth to creative spaces, studios, or bedrooms where its sophisticated color story truly shines.
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.
