Pattern description
This counted cross-stitch apple radiates warmth with its rich crimson and coral gradient, creating dimension across 55 x 55 stitches. The emerald leaf and brown stem complete the classic fruit still-life composition. At intermediate skill level using 23 DMC thread colors, it's an approachable project that teaches subtle shading techniques.
Stitched on Aida fabric with variegated reds, this design works beautifully as a kitchen accent, a gift for gardeners or teachers, or part of a fruit-themed needlework series. The jewel-toned palette and realistic shading make it equally suited to autumn décor or year-round fruit-bowl inspired displays.
