Pattern description
This counted cross-stitch pattern captures an iconic lighthouse in soft, cool tones—the distinctive striped tower rendered in deep burgundy and seafoam green against a pale blue sky. At 100 x 100 stitches, the design balances geometric simplicity with atmospheric detail, creating a serene coastal scene that feels both contemporary and timeless.
The palette of 28 DMC threads builds depth through layered muted hues. Burgundy and forest-green horizontal bands anchor the tower's structure, while touches of gray and darker tones suggest the lantern room and rocky base. The cool turquoise-tinged sky evokes an overcast maritime day, making this an intermediate-level project ideal for stitchers comfortable with color transitions and shaped sections.
Harbor lighthouses hold enduring appeal in needlework—they symbolize guidance, safety, and nautical heritage. This design works beautifully framed on a coastal-themed gallery wall, as a gift for maritime enthusiasts, or stitched in a beach house's guest bedroom. The calm, washed-out palette suits farmhouse and cottage décor equally well.
