Pattern description
This 100x100 stitch counted cross-stitch pattern captures a serene seaside scene rendered in 29 DMC thread colors. The composition features a tall, cream-colored lighthouse standing sentinel beside a white keeper's cottage with a bold red roof, set against a striking gradient of deep blue water and muted green-gray sky. The jewel-toned palette and clean horizontal banding create a calm, contemplative mood perfect for intermediate stitchers seeking a focused coastal-themed project. The pattern works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric, requiring approximately 7x7 inches of finished stitching space. Its balanced composition and distinct color blocks make it ideal for framing in nautical or farmhouse décor, while the straightforward subject matter appeals to needleworkers who enjoy maritime themes without excessive detail work. This design makes a thoughtful handmade gift for lighthouse enthusiasts or those with seaside connections.
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.
