Pattern description
A classic seaside sentinel captured in 70×70 counted cross stitch, this lighthouse pattern celebrates the charm of striped towers against serene skies. The bold red and cream spiral bands wrap around the central column, while the lantern room glows with warm golden tones.

With 28 DMC thread colors and intermediate skill level, this design strikes an excellent balance between visual impact and stitching manageability. The repeating spiral stripe pattern creates a meditative rhythm across the Aida fabric, rewarding steady progress with clear structural satisfaction. Ideal for nautical-themed nurseries, seaside cottages, or as a gift for lighthouse enthusiasts, the pastel palette ensures it complements both modern and traditional décor seamlessly.
