Pattern description
This classic Zoroastrian fire symbol features a stoneware urn with dramatic flames bursting upward in vivid reds, golds, and yellows. The composition is perfectly balanced, with matching handle details on either side framing the intense blaze at the center. At 83 x 83 stitches, it's a manageable intermediate-level project ideal for stitchers ready to explore more complex color blending and shading techniques.
The warm, energetic color palette of seven DMC threads brings the sacred flame to life with layered depth—from pale yellow highlights to deep crimson accents creating genuine dimension. This needlework piece works beautifully as a spiritual or philosophical home accent, particularly for enthusiasts of ancient religions or fire symbolism. The bold, graphic design translates excellently onto 14-count Aida fabric and makes a striking framed piece or wall hanging that commands attention in any room. Free printable PDF charts are readily available, making this pattern accessible for immediate stitching.
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.
