Pattern description
This 116 x 116 stitch pattern captures vibrant scarlet blooms with delicate yellow stamens, surrounded by graceful green fern foliage in a jewel-toned composition. The symmetrical arrangement and intermediate skill level make it an approachable yet rewarding project that combines bold color work with fine leafy details. Using 15 DMC thread colors, stitchers will build confident shading techniques while executing the rich red petals and layered fern textures on Aida fabric. Ideal for displaying in bedrooms, offices, or living spaces where warm botanical artwork complements contemporary and traditional décor alike, this counted cross-stitch project makes a meaningful handmade gift for gardeners and nature enthusiasts. The striking red-and-green palette offers excellent dimension for a finished piece that commands attention without overwhelming smaller spaces. Consider matting and framing your completed needlework as a standalone statement or incorporating it into a series of coordinating floral designs.
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.
