Pattern description
This 79 x 79 stitch pattern captures three plump cherries rendered in rich burgundy and deep crimson tones, creating a sophisticated fruit study that feels both realistic and artistic. The pale highlight stitches against darker reds give the cherries dimensional depth, while connected green stems add visual interest and anchor the composition. With 22 DMC thread colors and intermediate skill requirements, this needlework project offers enough color complexity to develop blending technique without overwhelming the stitcher, making it ideal for those ready to advance beyond beginner patterns. Rich jewel-tone palette and classic fruit motif make this counted cross stitch design perfect for kitchen décor, framed as a stand-alone piece, or stitched alongside complementary fruit patterns. The compact size works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric, finishing at approximately 5.6 x 5.6 inches, giving crafters a satisfying project timeline while yielding a gallery-worthy result suitable for gifting or personal collection.
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.
