Pattern description
Two stacked diamond medallions showcase overlapping spheres in vivid jewel tones—emerald green, sapphire blue, ruby red, and cream—creating a dynamic, interlocking composition. The 19×19 stitch count makes this a perfectly proportioned beginner project that feels complete without overwhelming new stitchers. The geometric arrangement gives the design contemporary visual appeal while the subject matter delights crafters of all ages.
DMC's eight-color palette balances cool blues and greens with warm reds for striking contrast. The color blocking is intuitive to follow on the counted cross stitch chart, making thread management straightforward for beginners.
This needlework pattern works beautifully as a quick finishing project for small hoops, greeting cards, or coasters. Stitch it on 14-count Aida fabric for a finished size around 1.4×1.4 inches, or scale up on lower-count fabric. The vibrant geometric subject makes it an ideal choice for children's room décor, nursery wall art, or as an encouraging first project to build confidence in cross stitch fundamentals.
Stitch planning checklist
- Measure your fabric against the stitch count to confirm finished size.
- Sort floss by symbol before you start; pre-thread a few needles for speed.
- Work in small blocks to keep counting accurate and spot mistakes early.
- Backstitch at the end of each session so outlines stay crisp.
