Pattern description
This bold cross-stitch features three poinsettias arranged in a vertical composition, rendered in vibrant red petals with golden-yellow centers and rich green foliage. The geometric pixel style captures the festive warmth of this beloved holiday flower, making it an ideal choice for seasonal ornaments or card embellishments.

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.
