Pattern description
This cushion cover combines radial symmetry with concentric diamond layers in a striking counted cross-stitch design. The octagonal framing creates a classical medallion effect, while repetitive smaller diamonds scattered across the border add rhythmic visual interest and movement.
Eight DMC thread colors—dominated by vibrant pink, spring greens, and warm yellows—create a jewel-toned palette that shifts between warm and cool tones. The contrast between the bright border pattern and the quieter center invites the eye to move across the entire composition, making it ideal for a focal-point cushion on a sofa or armchair.
At 221 × 221 stitches, this advanced-level project rewards experienced stitchers with satisfying geometric precision and color work. Perfect for a decorative accent pillow, the pattern's symmetrical design ensures professional-looking results when finished on 18-count Aida fabric with the provided DMC palette.
