Pattern description
Radiating warmth and cheerfulness, this 138 x 138 stitch ornament captures a golden sunflower at full bloom. The bold yellow petals frame a rich magenta center ringed with coral tones, while deep forest-green leafy spikes radiate outward, creating a dynamic, dimensional look. The bright color palette makes this an intermediate needlework project that delivers eye-catching results.
At 30 DMC thread colors, this counted cross stitch pattern offers a satisfying complexity without overwhelming beginners-plus stitchers. The combination of solid yellows, warm peachy transitions, jewel-toned reds, and rich greens creates natural shading and depth across the design. Perfect for framing as a small wall accent, stitching as a seasonal ornament, or gifting to gardening enthusiasts, this sunflower motif brings year-round cheer to any home decor when worked on 14-count Aida fabric.
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.
