Pattern description
This intermediate counted cross stitch pattern features three jewel-toned blue cornflowers in full bloom, each rendered in rich navy and cyan tones against soft cream Aida fabric. The composition captures delicate botanical detail with graceful green stems and layered petals that create natural movement across the 83 x 97 stitch count.

Perfect for stitchers seeking a medium-challenge project that yields a polished, gallery-worthy finished piece ready to display or gift.
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.
