Celestial Turtle Cross Stitch Pattern PDF

A cosmic sea turtle cross stitch pattern with a jewelled shell of blue, teal, and peach against a starry purple body. 125 x 110 stitches across 36 DMC shades for astronomy and ocean lovers alike.

The shell is the heart of the design, each segment glowing in opalescent colours like polished cosmic stones, while the body and flippers shimmer in deep starlit purples. Stitched on dark fabric, the whole piece glows. Full cross stitches only, no backstitch or fractionals, so the stitching itself stays calm even with the colour range.
