Pattern description
This counted cross stitch pattern captures a delicate cosmos bloom in soft pink tones, centered with a bright golden-yellow stamen and surrounded by layered sage and olive green foliage. At 140 x 140 stitches, the design offers a perfectly balanced composition that works beautifully as a standalone floral motif or as part of a larger needlework collection.
The palette of 25 DMC thread colors creates gentle, watercolor-like shading that brings dimension and softness to both petals and leaves. Intermediate stitchers will appreciate the moderate complexity—detailed enough to be engaging without overwhelming detail work. The design works wonderfully stitched on 14-count Aida fabric and makes an excellent framed botanical piece, greeting card project, or decorative pillow cover. Its pastoral aesthetic suits spring and summer displays, while the timeless floral subject makes it perfect for gifting to gardeners, nature lovers, or anyone seeking peaceful needlework.
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.
