There’s nothing quite like the glow of a fireplace to make a house feel like home. This free cross stitch pattern from Flossize captures that cozy warmth in every stitch. The design centers on a rustic brick hearth and chimney, with a bright fire burning cheerfully in the grate. The masonry is built from a palette of earthy browns, tans, and creams, while the flames leap in vibrant oranges and yellows, accented by white stitches that suggest curling smoke. The overall effect is one of comfort and nostalgia, reminiscent of classic needlepoint or pixel art, where each stitch adds texture and depth.
Stitched with DMC Mouliné Art. 117 floss, the pattern uses simple blocks of color to define the bricks, logs, and shadows, making it a joy to stitch for beginners and experienced crafters alike. The centered composition draws the eye to the fire, with darker browns on the sides hinting at surrounding furniture or woodwork. This piece would be perfect in a living room, den, or any space where you want to evoke the feeling of a crackling fire on a cold day. It’s a small project that brings big warmth.
Whether you’re stitching it for yourself or as a gift, this pattern is sure to become a treasured addition to your home decor. Download the free PDF to start stitching.
