Pattern description
This intermediate counted cross-stitch pattern showcases a striking symmetrical butterfly rendered in rich wine and burgundy tones accented by warm peachy-orange centers. The 96 x 96 stitch count makes it an ideal medium-sized project for stitchers ready to move beyond simple designs while still enjoying a manageable completion timeline.
Working with twelve DMC thread colors, you'll build depth through careful color placement that creates dimensional wing patterns and distinctive eyespots. The jewel-toned palette transitions beautifully from deep burgundy edges to glowing amber and coral mid-tones, delivering a sophisticated piece perfect for framing above a mantle or gifting to nature enthusiasts. Once stitched on 14-count Aida fabric, this design becomes an elegant statement worthy of display, combining the meditative stitching experience with a finished needlework treasure.
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.
