Pattern description
This 62x62 counted cross stitch pattern captures a radiant oil lamp glowing with warm oranges, vibrant reds, and rich golds accented by jewel-tone blues and magentas. The design features a traditional diya topped with a dancing flame, rendered in 15 DMC thread colors that create dimensional depth across the moderate 62-stitch square. Perfect for intermediate stitchers, the piece balances intricate colorwork in the lamp's patterned body with simpler sections in the flame, making it an engaging project that celebrates Diwali's luminous symbolism without overwhelming complexity.
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.
