Pattern description
Combine a bold geometric cross motif with nature-inspired florals in this 18x18 stitch counted pattern. The design features a striking emerald-green cross in the lower composition, anchored by a central intersection, while jewel-toned navy and powder-blue blocks form an ornamental crown shape above. Golden-yellow accents punctuate the upper right corner, creating visual balance and warmth against the cool color palette.
Ideal for beginner needleworkers, this four-color DMC pattern stitches quickly on standard Aida fabric while delivering impressive visual impact through its bold color blocking and dynamic asymmetrical layout. The clean geometric shapes make thread management straightforward, and the modest stitch count means you'll see results fast. Perfect as a small framed piece, ornament, or gift for friends who appreciate contemporary needlework blending traditional cross-stitch with modern color-field aesthetics.
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.
