Pattern description
A striking geometric mandala erupts from the center outward, composed of concentric layers that build from a bright yellow core through hot pink and deep navy to brilliant turquoise outer rays. The 138×138 stitch count creates a perfectly symmetrical composition with a spiky, sun-like star perimeter that radiates visual energy across the canvas.
This intermediate-level pattern demands attention to color gradation and crisp stitch placement, as the subtle blending between the pink and navy sections relies on precise thread transitions. With 30 DMC colors, you'll practice smooth shading techniques while maintaining the sharp geometric edges that define each concentric ring.
Perfect for framing as a modern ornament or wall art, this design works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric and suits both contemporary and eclectic home décor. Its rich jewel tones—deep navy, magenta-pink, and cyan—bring depth and sophistication to any space, making it an excellent choice for stitchers seeking a bold, graphic project with meditative appeal.
