Pattern description

This 88x88 stitch counted cross-stitch pattern captures the dynamic energy of a roaring bonfire rendered in bold, warm hues. Yellow flames reach skyward while deep oranges and reds form the intense heart of the fire, creating a striking gradient that draws the eye inward. Charcoal and burgundy logs form the base, anchoring the composition with earthy weight.

The 16-color DMC palette balances yellows, oranges, and reds with cool blue-grey tones and dusty rose highlights, producing a compelling visual contrast that brings the flames to life. At intermediate skill level, this pattern suits stitchers ready to manage color transitions and maintain precision across a manageable 88x88 count. Perfect for autumn décor, cozy gatherings, or gift-giving, this needlework project works beautifully on traditional Aida fabric and comes with a free printable PDF chart for convenient stitching.

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.
