Pattern description
This intermediate-level pattern captures a bold, jewel-toned blossom rendered in counted cross stitch across an 84x84 grid. The flower features a striking gradient of red, coral, and pink petals that radiate outward, with a luminous yellow center that draws the eye. A graceful green stem curves upward from the base, anchored by detailed root work in darker forest green, creating a naturalistic composition that feels both modern and timeless.
Stitched using 14 DMC thread colors, this needlework project offers satisfying complexity without overwhelming beginners transitioning to intermediate skills. The warm, saturated palette makes it an excellent choice for brightening any room—display it framed above a desk, in a bedroom, or as part of a gallery wall celebrating botanical themes. The design works beautifully on white or cream Aida fabric, and the finished piece makes a thoughtful handmade gift for plant lovers or craft enthusiasts.
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.
