Pattern description
A teddy bear cradles a vibrant coral rose in this heartwarming counted cross-stitch design, rendered in warm, soft tones that create an endearing vintage aesthetic. The composition centers the plush figure holding the delicate bloom, complete with a pale blue ribbon accent, making it an ideal pattern for gift-givers seeking something tender and nostalgic. The 90 x 90 stitch count provides a manageable project size without sacrificing detail.
With 33 DMC thread colors, this advanced-level needlework project demands patience and precision from experienced stitchers. The color palette transitions smoothly from coral and salmon tones in the rose, through rich greens in the leaves and stem, to the subtle beige and cream shades of the bear itself. Stitching on 14-count Aida fabric will yield approximately a 6.5-inch finished piece, allowing you to appreciate the intricate color blending that brings dimension to every element.
Perfect for celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, or simply brightening someone's day, this tender motif transcends generic greetings. Frame it as a lasting keepsake for a child's nursery, display it in a collector's gallery of needlework, or gift it to anyone who adores both bears and botanical beauty. The charming subject matter and delicate execution make this counted cross-stitch pattern a meaningful heirloom-quality project.
Stitch planning checklist

- 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.
