Pattern description

A pair of maple leaves rendered in rich autumnal tones—rust-red and warm golden-orange—creates a striking composition in this 73×73 beginner-friendly counted cross stitch. The layered color palette adds dimension and depth, with darker accents suggesting veins and natural shadow.

This design uses eight DMC thread colors to achieve its seasonal warmth, making it accessible for needleworkers just starting their cross-stitch journey. Perfect for fall décor or framed as a small wall accent, the charted pattern works beautifully on standard Aida fabric. The compact stitch count completes quickly, offering a rewarding first project or a satisfying addition to an autumn-themed collection.
