Pattern description
This 123 x 123 stitch counted cross stitch pattern showcases a bold geometric ornament design built from interlocking diamond shapes in jewel-toned purple and crimson red. The symmetrical composition radiates outward from a central star motif, creating a striking visual rhythm that suggests traditional folk art or ethnic textile influences. The clean pixel-perfect edges characteristic of geometric needlework make this an engaging intermediate-level project.
Working with just two DMC thread colors keeps material costs minimal while delivering maximum visual impact. The repeating diamond lattice pattern develops quickly as your needle work progresses, making it satisfying for stitchers ready to move beyond simple designs but not yet attempting complex shading or specialty stitches. Stitched on 14-count Aida fabric, this compact design translates beautifully into a finished ornament, greeting card accent, or small framed piece—versatile enough for holiday decorating or year-round display on a shelf.
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.
