Pattern description
A stunning counted cross stitch pattern centered on a jewel-toned crimson rose complemented by bright golden yellow blossoms and verdant green foliage. The rich red heart of the rose dominates the composition with subtle shading that creates dimension, while cheerful yellow flowers dance around the perimeter, balanced by deep emerald leaves and delicate stems extending downward. At 59 x 59 stitches, this intermediate-level design captures romantic elegance through bold, saturated color choices.
The 23 DMC thread colors in this pattern range from warm scarlets and burgundies to sunny golds and forest greens, creating a warm-toned palette that radiates love and passion. The color progression from deep crimson to lighter rose tones within the main bloom demonstrates effective shading technique, while the golden florals provide cheerful contrast without overwhelming the central rose's dominance.
Perfect for Valentine's Day gifting or as a permanent home accent, this needlework piece stitches beautifully on Aida fabric and works equally well as a framed piece or pillow cover. The intermediate skill level makes it accessible to stitchers with some experience, offering enough complexity in the color work to stay engaging without requiring advanced techniques. A PDF chart printable format makes starting your project immediately possible.
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.
