Pattern description
This 100x100 stitch counted cross stitch pattern captures an iconic striped lighthouse in soft aqua and deep burgundy tones against a pale sky. The vertical composition emphasizes the tower's classic maritime presence, with its distinctive color blocking rendered across 28 DMC thread colors. At intermediate skill level, the geometric bands and gradient sky offer engaging color work without overwhelming complexity, making it ideal for stitchers building their technical confidence in composition and shading techniques.
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.
