Pattern description
This energetic 68 x 68 counted cross stitch design captures a green frog mid-leap, rendered in bold lime and forest tones against a crisp white background. The composition radiates movement, with the frog's limbs stretched dynamically outward and accented by vibrant orange touches on its feet and head. The eight-color DMC palette combines cool greens with warm pops of orange and red, creating visual contrast that makes the motif pop from the fabric. Ideal for beginners, this pattern works beautifully on 14-count Aida and requires minimal color changes, making it an engaging first project that yields professional-looking results in just a few stitching sessions.
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.
