Pattern description
This 98x98 stitch counted cross-stitch pattern captures a bold gerbera daisy in striking red and gold tones. The design features rich, warm scarlet petals radiating outward from a luminous yellow center, creating a dynamic composition with strong visual impact. At intermediate skill level, it's ideal for stitchers comfortable with color transitions and petal shading techniques. The 15 DMC thread colors are carefully selected to build depth and dimension across the flower's layered petals, while the square format makes it perfect for framing as standalone wall art or incorporating into a larger floral sampler collection.
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.
