Pattern description
A cheerful red blossom with verdant green stem takes center stage in this 13×13 stitch counted cross-stitch design. The composition is compact and perfectly framed, making it ideal for small projects like greeting cards, bookmarks, or ornaments. Just four DMC thread colors create the bright, graphic effect that gives this flower its punch.
Perfect for needleworkers just starting their cross-stitch journey, this beginner-friendly pattern requires minimal color changes and straightforward stitching techniques. The generous stitch count makes it achievable in just a few hours on standard Aida fabric. Its bold red-and-green palette suits spring and summer décor, holiday gift tags, or a cheerful corner of a larger sampler, while the timeless flower motif ensures lasting appeal beyond any single season.
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.
