Pattern description
Red geraniums burst across this vibrant 50 x 50 counted cross stitch design, their clustered blooms rendered in bold scarlet and coral tones against crisp lime-green foliage. The composition features multiple flower heads at varying depths, creating dimensional interest within a compact square format that works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric.
Working with 20 DMC thread colors, stitchers will find this intermediate-level pattern offers enough color variety to keep the needle moving without overwhelming complexity. The color transitions from warm reds to soft peachy highlights demonstrate how thoughtful palette choices elevate even small needlework projects.
Perfect for framing as spring home décor or gifting to garden enthusiasts, this geranium pattern captures the lush warmth of cottage gardens. Its manageable 2,500-stitch count makes it an ideal weekend project for needleworkers building their skills, and the cheerful red blooms bring lasting cheer to any room year-round.
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.
