Pattern description
This 98 x 98 stitch pattern celebrates the richness of fall with a harmonious composition featuring clustered acorns in deep burgundy and warm terracotta tones, surrounded by vibrant oak leaves in forest and lime green. The design captures the essence of seasonal harvests with a sophisticated color palette that shifts from cool greens to rich reds and golden oranges, creating visual depth and movement across the canvas.
At intermediate skill level, this pattern offers a rewarding challenge for stitchers looking to expand their abilities. The 23 DMC thread colors provide wonderful opportunities to practice color blending and shading techniques, bringing dimensional realism to the acorns and foliage.
Perfect for autumn decorating, this counted cross stitch design works beautifully as a framed piece for living rooms or as an accent for nature-inspired home collections. Stitchers can work this pattern on 14-count Aida fabric, making it ideal for gift-giving or personal projects that celebrate the peaceful beauty of the changing season. The design's moderate size and rich, earthy palette make it equally suited to seasonal displays or year-round enjoyment.
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.
