Pattern description
At 217 x 217 stitches, this counted cross stitch design features nested concentric squares with intricate geometric borders in soft pastels. The cool blue-and-pink palette creates a soothing, modern aesthetic perfect for contemporary home décor. With just three DMC thread colors, the pattern achieves impressive visual depth through clever color placement and repeating motifs across the canvas.
This advanced-level needlework project demands patience and precision but rewards stitchers with a striking cushion cover suitable for display on couches, chairs, or beds. The symmetrical composition makes it ideal for framing as wall art once complete. Stitched on standard Aida fabric with the provided DMC color chart, this geometric design works beautifully in spaces with minimalist or eclectic interiors, offering a handmade focal point that blends traditional embroidery skills with contemporary design sensibilities.
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.
