Pattern description
A striking composition that merges two romantic symbols into one counted cross stitch design. Lush crimson roses frame an equally vivid heart shape, creating bold visual impact perfect for Valentine's Day needlework. The dramatic red tones are enriched with deep green foliage and subtle shading variations across the 55 x 55 stitch count, making this an engaging project for stitchers ready to move beyond beginner patterns.
With 28 DMC thread colors to work with, this intermediate-level pattern rewards patience and attention to color transitions that bring dimension to the petals and leaves. The relatively compact size makes it ideal for framing, pillow covers, or as an ornament—gifts that celebrate love without overwhelming stitching timelines. Whether you're stitching for a partner, a friend, or yourself, the jewel-toned warmth of these blooms translates beautifully onto 14-count Aida fabric, complete with a free printable PDF chart to guide your needle work.
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.
