Pattern description
Three round gooseberries in delicate cream and sage tones cluster together in this counted cross stitch pattern, accented by deeper green leaves that frame the composition. The soft, muted color palette—rendered across 18 DMC thread colors—creates an understated botanical charm perfect for kitchen décor or a fruit-themed needlework collection. At 114 x 114 stitches, this intermediate-level design offers a satisfying challenge without overwhelming complexity, making it ideal for stitchers ready to expand their skills with nuanced shading and layered color work on standard Aida fabric.
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.
