Pattern description
This intermediate cross-stitch pattern features a symmetrical snowflake design rendered in warm russet and cream tones, creating a distinctly autumnal rather than wintry aesthetic. The 138x138 stitch count makes it an ideal size for a small ornament or framed piece, with the central circle providing visual balance to the intricate branching arms that radiate outward. The 30 DMC thread colors allow for rich shading and texture within the geometric framework. Perfect for needleworkers seeking a moderate challenge, this counted cross-stitch pattern works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric as a standalone ornament or gift. The warm rustic palette sets it apart from traditional snowflake designs, making it equally suited to fall decorating, rustic holiday displays, or year-round home décor. The pattern's symmetrical construction offers satisfying progress as you work from the center outward, with the geometric precision appealing to stitchers who enjoy structured needlework projects.
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.
