Pattern description
This counted cross-stitch pattern captures a bold red cherry with a vibrant green leaf in classic pixel art style. The 36 x 36 stitch count creates a compact design perfect for small finished pieces, greeting cards, or as part of a larger needlework project. With twelve DMC thread colors and intermediate skill level, stitchers will enjoy the moderate complexity that balances visual impact with accessibility.
The rich crimson tones of the cherry contrast beautifully against the lime and olive greens of the leaf, creating a warm, cheerful composition ideal for kitchen décor or fresh, fruity-themed stitching collections. This straightforward motif works wonderfully on standard Aida fabric and makes an excellent choice for gift-giving, whether framed as a small artwork or incorporated into a sampler celebrating seasonal produce and nature-inspired needlework.
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.
