Pattern description
This 151 x 151 stitch pattern captures a lush pair of oranges rendered in glowing golden-yellow and rich orange hues, complete with delicate green leaves nestled beneath. The composition uses warm, saturated tones that evoke autumn harvests and Mediterranean groves, making it an ideal counted cross stitch project for fruit-lovers and kitchen décor enthusiasts alike.
Advanced stitchers will appreciate the 28 DMC thread colors that bring depth and dimension to this citrus still life. The careful color gradations create realistic shading across the fruit's curved surfaces, while subtle highlights in pale yellow and white suggest a polished, sun-kissed finish. This medium-sized design works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric and translates wonderfully into wall art, kitchen textiles, or framed needlework for spaces that celebrate natural, harvest-inspired aesthetics throughout the year.
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.
