Pattern description
With 138 by 138 stitches and a radiant kaleidoscopic burst pattern, this ornament showcases warm golden oranges and rich rust tones that radiate outward like a glowing star. The symmetrical composition creates eight-fold balance punctuated by white highlights at the center, making it a striking counted cross stitch project.
The intermediate skill level makes this a rewarding challenge for needleworkers ready to expand beyond basics while still enjoying achievable progress. Using 30 DMC thread colors on standard Aida fabric, the gradient shifts from bright yellow through burnt orange build visual depth and dimension. Perfect for autumn celebrations or cozy winter décor, this warm-toned ornament works beautifully as a Christmas ornament, wall hanging, or small gift. The symmetrical design also makes it ideal for stitchers who appreciate meditative rhythm in their needlework.
