Pattern description
This 100 x 100 stitch portrait captures a contemplative young woman with soft blonde hair and striking dark eyes, rendered in gentle cross-stitch detail. The cool color palette centers on deep blues, pale creams, and rosy accents that create an ethereal, modern aesthetic. The composition's close framing draws focus to the subject's delicate facial features and subtle expression.
At intermediate skill level, this needlework project uses 27 DMC thread colors to build dimension and texture across the canvas. The carefully selected palette of cooler tones and muted pinks demonstrates how thread color choice can convey mood and atmosphere in portraiture. Stitchers will appreciate the balanced challenge of blending similar shades to achieve smooth transitions in skin tones and hair.
Perfect for framing as contemporary wall art or gifting to young craft enthusiasts, this counted cross stitch pattern works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric with standard DMC floss. The finished piece measures approximately 7 x 7 inches, making it ideal for small gallery walls, bedroom decor, or as a meaningful handmade gift for portrait lovers and needlework collectors.
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.
