Pattern description
A serene palette of soft mints, pale blues, and navy creates a calming composition in this 34-stitch counted cross-stitch cup design. The central motif—a bright coral-red bloom framed by emerald-green leaves—draws the eye without overwhelming the gentle background, making it an ideal beginner project for needleworkers seeking something approachable yet visually pleasing.
At just seven DMC thread colors, this pattern requires minimal color management, perfect for building confidence in counted cross-stitch fundamentals. The cool, muted color scheme evokes a spa-like or vintage tableware aesthetic, lending itself naturally to kitchen décor, tea-time themes, or as a thoughtful handmade gift for someone who appreciates understated elegance.
Stitched on standard Aida fabric with the provided DMC palette, this modest stitch count makes it an excellent weekend project or a quick addition to a growing collection of tableware-themed needlework. Frame it as kitchen art, stitch it onto a tea towel, or mount it on a small finished piece for a personalized touch that celebrates the quiet joy of handmade home décor.
