Heart Angel

A Heart Ready to Fly

This pattern pairs a classic pixel heart with a pair of outstretched white wings, giving the familiar Valentine motif a playful, animated feel. The bold black outlines and layered red shading give the heart dimension, while the crisp white feathers balance the design against a soft electric blue background. It works well as a small framed piece, a card insert, or a patch for a bag or pillow.

Skill Level and Time

Rated beginner friendly, this chart is built for stitchers who want a quick, satisfying finish. With 807 total stitches spread across a 30 by 30 grid, most crafters can expect to complete the piece in around 6.5 hours. The shapes are large and blocky, making it easy to follow even for those newer to counted cross stitch.

Palette and Materials

The design uses just four thread colors plus the background shade — Red, Light Red, White, and Black against Medium Electric Blue — keeping supply lists short and floss changes minimal. The limited palette also makes this a good project for practicing clean color blocking and crisp outlines, since the heart and wings each rely on only a few tonal shifts to read clearly from a distance.
