Pattern description
This counted cross stitch pattern celebrates the bounty of orchard fruit with a circular wreath composition featuring orange and golden citrus fruits nestled among verdant green foliage. The 198 x 198 stitch count creates a generously sized needlework project perfect for framing or incorporating into seasonal home décor.
The warm harvest palette of 28 DMC thread colors balances rich green leaves with bright orange and pale yellow fruit tones, creating visual depth and natural dimension throughout the design. Advanced stitchers will appreciate the intricate layering required to render the dimensional fruit and detailed foliage, making this an engaging project that showcases color blending and shading techniques. The wreath format makes it ideal for wall display during autumn celebrations or year-round in kitchens and dining spaces, while the citrus motif brings cheerful, fruity charm to any needlework collection.
