Pattern description
Two full blooms in delicate pink and rich purple dominate this counted cross stitch pattern, their layered petals rendered with meticulous detail across 94 x 94 stitches. The composition balances the cooler blue-violet flower against warmer blush tones, while deep forest green leaves frame both blooms with organic elegance. This intermediate-level needlework showcases how thoughtful color placement creates visual depth and movement within a compact square design.
With 29 DMC thread colors, stitchers will enjoy the subtle color transitions that define each petal and leaf. The palette blends cool and warm hues—from lavender and periwinkle to dusty rose and sage—creating a sophisticated mood perfect for traditional or contemporary spaces. Working on 14-count Aida fabric will yield a finished piece approximately 6.7 by 6.7 inches.
Hydrangeas symbolize gratitude and heartfelt emotion, making this pattern an meaningful gift for plant lovers or anyone who appreciates garden florals. Frame it as a small accent piece above a dresser, stitch it as part of a larger home décor series, or gift it to someone whose birth month celebrates these iconic blooms.
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.
