Matrix Illusion Cross Stitch Pattern PDF

A modern cross stitch pattern of cascading green digital code with the word ILLUSION emerging through the falling characters. 100 x 80 stitches across 9 DMC shades, a striking piece for sci-fi, tech, and optical illusion fans.

The design plays with the iconic digital rain aesthetic, columns of bright green code streaming down a dark background, with the word ILLUSION revealing itself in lime against the deeper greens. A piece that does interesting things at different viewing distances: code up close, message from across the room. Full cross stitches only, no backstitch or fractionals.
