Pattern description
This 106x106 intermediate counted cross stitch pattern features a warm, naturalistic pineapple with a sliced wedge revealing pale yellow flesh. The composition cleverly showcases both the iconic textured exterior and the fruit's interior, rendered across 28 DMC thread colors in rich golds, greens, and browns. The chunky texture of the fruit's skin creates satisfying coverage on Aida fabric, while the softer tones of the exposed slice offer a refreshing visual contrast. Perfect for kitchen décor or as a gift for gardening enthusiasts, this pattern delivers classic fruit needlework with appealing dimensional quality. At intermediate skill level, stitchers will appreciate the balanced complexity—enough color variation and detail to stay engaging without overwhelming. The cross stitch technique works beautifully on 14-count Aida with these earthy DMC palette choices, building a piece with genuine warmth and dimensional depth.
