Pattern description

This 113 x 113 stitch counted cross-stitch pattern showcases a rose bursting with saturated color that transitions dramatically from golden yellow petals to magenta, deep navy, and turquoise hues. The composition creates a three-dimensional effect where warm yellows dominate the center while cool jewel tones wrap around the bloom's exterior, producing striking visual depth and movement across the design.

With 26 DMC thread colors selected for maximum chromatic impact, this intermediate-level project demands attention to color placement and shading precision. Stitchers will appreciate the gradual color shifts that build dimension; the interplay between warm and cool tones requires careful thread management but rewards with a sophisticated, gallery-worthy finished piece.

Perfect for framed needlework displays or decorative pillows, this bold rose design brings contemporary color confidence to any room. The rich jewel-tone palette suits modern, bohemian, or eclectic décor styles beautifully. Whether you're an experienced needleworker seeking a stimulating challenge or a gifted crafter looking to impress, this intermediate pattern delivers visual impact that showcases both technical skill and artistic vision.

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.
