Pattern description
This vibrant counted cross-stitch pattern captures the romantic appeal of full-bloomed pink carnations arranged in a naturalistic bouquet. With eighteen DMC thread colors and a moderate 105x105 stitch count, the design balances visual impact with approachable complexity—ideal for stitchers ready to move beyond basics. The soft yellow-green stems and varied pink tones create dimensional depth that brings these beloved flowers to life on Aida fabric. Perfect for framing as a cottage-style accent or gifting to flower enthusiasts, this intermediate needlework project takes 15-20 hours to complete. The warm, jewel-toned palette works beautifully in bedrooms, kitchens, or living spaces craving botanical charm. Available as a free printable PDF chart, it's an excellent choice for spring and Mother's Day stitching projects.
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.
