Pattern description
Three crimson tulips unfold in delicate layers across this 117x117 stitch design, arranged vertically with graceful green stems and leaves. The composition captures tulips at different stages—fully opened blooms and a softer, drooping bud below—creating movement and depth. Rich reds transition through lighter pink tones, lending dimension and botanical authenticity to each petal layer.
With 14 DMC thread colors and intermediate difficulty, this counted cross-stitch pattern works beautifully on Aida fabric and delivers satisfying visual impact. The warm jewel-toned palette and classic geometric border frame make it ideal for spring refreshes or as a heartfelt handmade gift. Stitch this elegant floral motif to create a timeless needlework piece perfect for framing or displaying on your wall year-round.
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.
