Did you know?
The copihue (Lapageria rosea) is the national flower of Chile, a climbing vine native to the temperate rainforests of southern Chile. Named by botanists from a Mapuche word meaning 'beautiful flower,' it produces distinctive bell-shaped flowers that hang downward, typically in shades of pink, red, or white. The flower symbolizes strength and femininity in Chilean culture and is protected by law; its delicate beauty and relative rarity make it a cherished motif in Chilean art, textiles, and craftsmanship traditions across generations.

Pattern description
Rendered in soft pastels against a pale blue backdrop, this copihue flower cross-stitch pattern captures the delicate beauty of Chile's national bloom. The design features 25 DMC thread colors worked over 109×109 stitches on Aida fabric, offering an intermediate-level needlework project that balances visual impact with manageable complexity. The subtle color gradations throughout the petals and leaves create depth and dimension.
The composition showcases the distinctive drooping flower form characteristic of copihues, with rich fuchsia and magenta petals flowing downward and olive-green leaves anchoring the upper portion. This counted cross-stitch pattern works beautifully as a framed accent piece in any room, particularly for stitchers drawn to botanical subjects or South American heritage. The gentle pastel palette makes it equally suitable as a gift for spring or summer occasions, or as a serene year-round embroidery project.
