Pattern description
This intermediate-level counted cross-stitch design features five bold crimson roses arranged in a cascading composition, each bloom rendered with detailed petal work and crisp white accents for dimension. The simple two-color palette of rich red and forest green creates striking contrast against the light background, making this pattern ideal for needleworkers ready to tackle structured shading and layered florals. At 97 x 97 stitches, it's substantial enough to showcase on finished pieces without becoming overwhelming, perfect for framing as wall art or gifting to gardening enthusiasts and romantics alike. Stitched on standard 14-count Aida fabric with DMC threads, this design works beautifully in classic red and green or invites creative color swaps for burgundy, coral, or even pink variations. The intermediate skill level challenges stitchers with careful counting around curved petal shapes while remaining accessible to those with some needlework experience. Available as a free printable PDF chart, it's a rewarding project that combines traditional rose motifs with clean, modern composition—equally suited for seasonal décor or timeless home displays.
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.
