Pattern description
This intermediate-level counted cross stitch pattern features a striking arrangement of delft-inspired flowers in rich cobalt and turquoise tones, framed by an elegant circular border. The symmetrical composition showcases blooms with detailed stamen details rendered in lighter thread, creating beautiful depth and dimension against the deeper blue background. At 127 x 127 stitches, the design is a perfect size for a framed hoop or small textile project.
The jewel-toned color palette uses 10 DMC thread colors to achieve the characteristic blue-on-blue shading that makes traditional delftware so captivating. Crafters will appreciate the moderate complexity—there's enough color variation to keep the needlework engaging without overwhelming beginners. Perfect for stitchers seeking a classic floral motif with old-world charm, this pattern works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric and translates into a stunning framed piece for any room. The geometric circle frame adds contemporary structure that bridges traditional delft aesthetics with modern home decor sensibilities.
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.
