Celestial Elephant Cross Stitch Pattern PDF

A wide panoramic cross stitch pattern of an elephant silhouette filled with vivid nebula colours, glowing red and gold on the head and shoulders, deepening into purple and blue through the body. 143 x 75 stitches across 35 DMC shades.

The unusual letterbox shape makes this a real statement piece, suited to spaces a square design wouldn't quite fit — above a bed, along a mantle, or across a long stretch of wall. Stitched on dark fabric, the colours sing. Full cross stitches only, no backstitch or fractionals, so the stitching itself stays relaxing.
