Pattern description
Deep navy blue berries clustered abundantly among lime green foliage create a striking color contrast in this 138 x 138 stitch pattern. The composition radiates outward from a central fruit arrangement, with leaves positioned dynamically around the cluster, lending visual movement to an otherwise simple subject.
Working with just three DMC thread colors makes this intermediate-level design approachable without sacrificing impact. The bold jewel-tone palette—rich navy against crisp greens—creates high contrast that translates beautifully onto 14-count Aida fabric, making each stitch count clearly visible as you progress through the needlework.
Stitchers appreciate this design for its manageable scope and satisfying color blocking. Frame it as a kitchen accent or incorporate it into a summer home décor scheme where the berry motif feels both timeless and seasonally relevant. The pattern works equally well as a small gift or a personal project that completes in a reasonable timeframe.
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.
