Pattern description
This jewel-toned pattern captures two plump cherries in rich crimson and deep red tones, suspended from delicate green stems and leafy branches in a classic summer fruit composition. Worked over 59×59 stitches with a 12-color DMC palette, the design balances visual impact with accessible intermediate-level stitching, making it ideal for needle-workers seeking a small project with satisfying dimension. The pixelated texture of counted cross-stitch brings out the dimensional shading in each fruit, while the crisp green foliage provides cool contrast against the warm berry tones.
