Pattern description
This counted cross stitch pattern showcases a symmetrical floral mandala composition, centering on a striking burnt orange and golden circle surrounded by concentric rings of delicate foliage. Sixteen deep crimson clover blooms radiate outward in perfect cardinal directions, creating rhythmic visual movement across the 138 x 138 stitch canvas. The geometric precision of the arrangement balances organically textured leaves and scattered botanical details in sage greens and soft neutrals, resulting in a sophisticated design that reads as both contemporary and timeless.
Working this intermediate-level needlework requires 30 distinct DMC thread colors, offering rich color blending opportunities that build visual depth and complexity. The warm palette—dominated by russet oranges, wine reds, and muted earth tones—creates a nostalgic, autumnal mood perfect for fall décor or year-round display. Stitchers will appreciate the satisfying progression from background to focal point, with varied stitch densities that prevent monotony across the 138 x 138 count.
This versatile ornament pattern suits 14-count Aida fabric beautifully and works equally well as a framed piece, pillow cover, or wall hanging. The balanced design makes it an ideal gift for botanists, herbalists, or traditional needlework enthusiasts seeking a project with structured complexity and natural subject matter.
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.
