Pattern description
Ripe red cherries suspended from a delicate green stem create a striking focal point in this 19 x 19 stitch counted cross-stitch design. The bold ruby and crimson palette against a neutral background delivers visual impact without overwhelming the small scale, making it an ideal choice for napkin corners, greeting cards, or kitchen linen accents. With just five DMC thread colors and beginner-friendly stitch count, this pattern introduces needleworkers to fruit motifs while building foundational skills in color blending and tension control.
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.
