Pattern description
A single bloom takes center stage in this 85x85 stitch counted cross-stitch design, showcasing a marigold rendered in bold golden yellows and warm oranges. The flower's layered petals radiate outward with dimensional shading, while a simple green stem and leaves ground the composition. The bright, cheerful palette against a clean white background makes this intermediate-level project an excellent choice for stitchers ready to move beyond basics but seeking an achievable, rewarding finish.
The 16-color DMC palette uses warm tones that create a glowing, sunlit quality perfect for spring and summer needlework. Stitching this flower on 14-count or 16-count Aida will yield a finished piece roughly 6 by 6 inches, making it ideal for framing or incorporating into a larger project. The moderate stitch count ensures manageable working sessions without overwhelming complexity.
Display this marigold pattern in a kitchen, bedroom, or entryway to bring cheerful, botanical warmth to any room. Its compact size and uplifting color scheme make it an thoughtful handmade gift for gardeners, plant lovers, or anyone who appreciates cottage-style embroidery art.
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.
