Pattern description

This counted cross-stitch pattern celebrates a bold crimson butterfly as its radiant centerpiece, surrounded by soft pink and blue flowers with playful star accents scattered across a light background.

At 158 × 158 stitches using 30 DMC thread colors, this advanced-level design rewards experienced needleworkers with intricate color blending and detailed shading that brings dimension and movement to the butterfly's wings.

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.
