God of Longevity (寿星) Cross Stitch Chart

1 item left

Invoke blessings of health and long life with the God of Longevity Chart.
This artisanal project is a masterclass in detail, utilizing 47 shades of stranded cotton to achieve the high-definition depth found in traditional Chinese silk paintings. The design is meticulously mapped across 220 x 378 stitches, featuring a combination of whole cross-stitches and 11 different shades of backstitch for a professional, "boutique" finish.

The 16-page booklet is "practically perfect" for ease of use, providing large-scale charts printed across twelve A4 pages to minimize eye strain. While the original model was beautifully rendered on 14-count grey Aida, the provided DMC floss equivalences allow you to easily pull from your "stash" to customize the background. Whether you are adding to your personal "yarn hoard" or creating a meaningful gift for a Singapore elder, this "statement piece" is a profound creative win. 


Why the "God of Longevity" Chart is a Masterpiece

  • Symbolic Heritage: A beautiful portrayal of the God of Longevity (寿星), representing immortality and happiness. 

  • Large Format Clarity: 12 pages of A4 charts printed at a readable scale make following the complex 47-color palette a "jiffy." 

  • High-Definition Detail: 11 colors of backstitch ensure the staff, peach, and flowing robes are crisp and artisanal. 

  • Customizable Foundation: The suggested 14-count grey Aida provides a sophisticated, modern backdrop for a classic theme.
