Pattern description
A kaleidoscopic ornament centered on perfect rotational symmetry, this 79×79 counted cross-stitch design radiates outward from a central point with alternating stripes of deep crimson, cool periwinkle blue, and forest green. The 11-color DMC palette creates a rich, jewel-toned aesthetic that feels both modern and timeless.
The intermediate skill level makes this pattern an ideal project for stitchers ready to move beyond beginner work, requiring attention to the radial geometry and color placement without overwhelming complexity. Stitched on even-count Aida fabric, the tight cross-stitch count yields a compact, detailed finished piece perfect for framing or hanging as a festive holiday ornament. The bold geometric precision and saturated hues make it equally suited to contemporary décor or traditional holiday displays.
