Pattern description
This intermediate-level counted cross-stitch pattern captures a luminous kadam blossom rendered in cream and golden tones against cool sage and chartreuse foliage. The 100x100 stitch count works perfectly on 14-count Aida fabric, creating a finished piece around 7x7 inches—ideal for framing as a botanical study or incorporating into a gallery wall celebrating Indian flora. The 30 DMC thread colors build subtle depth through layered stitching, rewarding the needleworker with rich dimensional texture in the flower's clustered petals. The soft, muted color palette—warm neutrals paired with restful green hues—suits contemporary or traditional home décor beautifully. Kadam blossoms hold cultural significance in Indian literature and spirituality, making this design a meaningful gift for those seeking to honor heritage through handmade needlework. The composition's balanced simplicity makes it accessible for intermediate stitchers looking to develop shading techniques without overwhelming complexity.
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.
