Pattern description
This cross-stitch mandala radiates symmetry and sophistication across its 138 × 138 stitch count. Six rounded lobes extend outward in rich sapphire blue and dusty mauve, framing a central golden cross motif adorned with spiral details. The color palette—deep blue, warm amber, and purple-rose accents—creates a jewel-box aesthetic that draws the eye inward to the geometric heart.
Working with 30 DMC thread colors at intermediate skill level, stitchers will enjoy the rhythmic repetition of this radial design while managing subtle color transitions that give it dimension. The mandala's balanced composition makes it equally at home as a framed wall hanging, a decorative cushion cover, or a meditative needlework project. Its regal blues and golds suit autumn décor, cultural celebrations, or any space calling for a touch of patterned elegance.
