Pattern description
A striking single bloom takes center stage in this compact counted cross stitch pattern. The jewel-toned magenta petals radiate outward with dimensional shading, creating depth and visual interest on a small 31 × 31 stitch canvas. Below, deep teal leaves and a curved stem ground the composition with cool-colored contrast, making this an ideal beginner project for learning basic cross stitch fundamentals without overwhelming detail.
Perfect for stitchers new to needlework, this design requires just six DMC thread colors and minimal experience to complete successfully. The generous stitch count keeps working time manageable—ideal for finishing a small framed piece or testing new thread combinations before tackling larger projects. Stitch this jewel-toned flower onto 14-count Aida for a polished 2.2-inch finished piece, or adjust to your preferred fabric count. The bold magenta and teal palette makes it equally suited as a springtime gift, a compact home accent, or the foundation of a mini floral series using complementary color schemes.
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.
