Pattern description
At 120 x 120 stitches, this Cape Hatteras design captures the iconic striped lighthouse rising majestically above a muted green landscape and soft blue-gray sky. The alternating dark and white bands of the tower create natural visual rhythm, while the grounded composition—with manicured grounds and distant trees—evokes the serene Outer Banks setting. The 28-color DMC palette employs cool, understated tones that convey peaceful seaside atmosphere rather than vibrant drama, making this intermediate-level needlework project both achievable and meditative to complete. Perfect for coastal-themed home décor or as a gift for lighthouse enthusiasts, this counted cross stitch pattern works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric. The moderate stitch count and intermediate skill level make it accessible to experienced stitchers seeking a satisfying weekend or week-long project without overwhelming complexity. Whether framed for a beach house, nautical bedroom, or office, the design's muted color scheme complements both traditional and contemporary interiors.
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.
