Pattern description
This 85x85 stitch counted cross-stitch pattern features a striking pansy with rich jewel-tone coloring. The flower showcases vibrant yellow petals accented with bold black markings radiating from the center, all set against a deep purple and blue background that creates dramatic contrast. The symmetrical composition and pixel-art rendering give this intermediate needlework project a contemporary charm while maintaining the delicate botanical appeal of the pansy motif.
Working this pansy design requires 18 DMC thread colors, making it an ideal next step for stitchers ready to expand their color-blending skills. The moderate stitch count makes it manageable for completion within a reasonable timeframe, yet complex enough to keep experienced stitchers engaged. Stitched on 14-count Aida fabric with the provided DMC color chart, this pattern works beautifully as a framed piece for spring décor or as a thoughtful handmade gift. The jewel-toned palette gives it year-round appeal rather than limiting it to seasonal displays.
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.
