Pattern description
This cheerful counted cross-stitch pattern captures a single blooming flower in bold yellow tones with a delicate secondary bud beside it. The composition features a sturdy green stem anchoring the lower half of the design, with organic leaf clusters spreading naturally across the base. At 74 x 74 stitches, this intermediate-level project works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric and uses 10 DMC thread colors to build depth and dimension in both the petals and foliage.
The warm, sunny color palette makes this piece perfect for brightening any space—whether framed above a desk, displayed in a kitchen, or stitched as a thoughtful handmade gift for a gardener or nature lover. The intermediate skill level offers enough complexity to stay engaging without overwhelming beginners, making it an ideal project for building confidence in blending techniques and color transitions. The design's compact stitch count means you can complete it in a reasonable timeframe while enjoying the meditative rhythm of counted cross-stitch 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.
