Pattern description
The Cushion Cover pattern offers cross-stitchers a striking opportunity to create a bold, minimalist needlework project that transforms fabric into functional home décor. With its 201 × 201 stitch count, this counted cross stitch design provides a satisfying medium-sized canvas for embroidery work. The sophisticated use of just two DMC thread colors creates an elegant, high-contrast composition that proves less is more in needlework design. This restraint in the color palette allows stitchers to focus on precision and technique while producing a polished, gallery-worthy result. The geometric scale of the pattern makes it an engaging project that balances complexity with achievability.

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.
