Pattern description
Stitching a bold pair of lips creates a striking focal point that brings personality and dimension to your needlework. The Lips pattern captures the curves and shading of this iconic subject through a carefully composed 75 × 75 stitch count that's perfectly sized for a finished piece you'll love displaying. Working with 10 DMC thread colors allows you to build realistic depth and dimension, blending warm and cool tones to create compelling contrast. The color palette transitions smoothly across the design, making this counted cross stitch project both visually engaging and satisfying to complete from start to finish.
Rated at intermediate skill level, this pattern is ideal for stitchers who have mastered the basics and are ready for slightly more complex color work. You'll receive a free printable PDF chart complete with a full DMC color key, making it easy to select your threads and follow along stitch by stitch. The design works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric, a standard choice for cross-stitch embroidery that offers excellent stitch definition. Whether you're looking to expand your embroidery portfolio or create a modern gift, this lips pattern delivers professional results with rewarding needlework experience.
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.
