Pattern description
This 77x77 stitch counted cross-stitch pattern captures a warm, sun-ripened pear in rich golden-yellow and burnt-orange tones, complete with a delicate green leaf. The composition centers the fruit against a neutral background, making it an ideal intermediate-level project that balances detail work with accessible stitching. At 17 DMC thread colors, this design builds dimension through strategic color placement, creating a realistic fruit study that works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric. Perfect for kitchen décor or as a framed still-life gift, this pear pattern brings harvest warmth to any space. The moderate stitch count and intermediate skill level make it rewarding for stitchers ready to expand beyond beginner projects without tackling overly complex color blending. The finished piece captures the essence of autumn abundance and pairs naturally with other fruit designs for a coordinated gallery wall or kitchen collection.
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.
