Pattern description
This 120×120 stitch counted cross-stitch pattern showcases a striking iris bloom rendered in rich jewel tones—deep purple petals layered with luminous turquoise-green stems and sepals. The composition captures the flower's elegant, unfurling form with dimensional shading that brings depth to each petal curve. Working across 15 DMC thread colors at an intermediate skill level, stitchers will appreciate the interplay between the cool teal tendrils and warm magenta blooms, creating a sophisticated palette perfect for framed needlework or home décor.
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.
