Pattern description
This counted cross-stitch pattern features a cozy house with a distinctive rust-red pitched roof and cream-colored walls, set against a bright blue sky and lush green lawn. The composition captures quintessential cottage charm with its symmetrical windows, simple door placement, and cheerful color palette that evokes comfort and home.
The 62 x 62 stitch count makes this an ideal intermediate-level needlework project, requiring 16 DMC thread colors to bring the warm, inviting tones to life on Aida fabric. Whether you're stitching as a personal keepsake, framing as cottage-core wall art, or gifting to a housewarming celebration, this homey motif translates beautifully into finished embroidery. The cross-stitch chart prints easily, allowing you to stitch at your own pace while building confidence with color transitions and detail 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.
