Pattern description
The Lotus pattern brings serene elegance to your needlework with its graceful petals and meditative subject matter. This counted cross-stitch design captures the delicate layers of a blooming lotus flower in a perfectly square 79 × 79 stitch format. The composition uses 13 complementary DMC thread colors to create depth and dimension, allowing you to explore subtle color transitions as you stitch from the innermost petals outward. The balanced layout makes this project feel manageable while still offering enough detail to keep your embroidery engaging throughout the stitching process.
Ideal for stitchers with intermediate experience, this Lotus pattern provides an excellent opportunity to refine your skills without overwhelming complexity. The pattern comes as a free, printable PDF chart complete with a detailed DMC color key for easy reference.

Whether you're creating a peaceful botanical framed piece or a meditative project to work on over several sessions, this lotus pattern delivers a rewarding needlework experience with professional-looking results.
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.
