Pattern description
Two plump pears in rich burnt orange dominate this 62×62 counted cross stitch design, creating a warm, autumnal composition. Their rounded forms are anchored by deep green foliage and brown stems that add naturalistic detail and visual balance. The color palette evokes harvest season—perfect for fall decorating or gifting to fruit and garden enthusiasts.
Stitchers will find this intermediate-level piece accessible yet rewarding, using 12 DMC thread colors across the compact square format. The gradual shading within the pears creates dimension without overwhelming complexity, making it ideal for crafters ready to move beyond beginner projects. Suitable for 14-count Aida fabric, this needlework takes on a lovely presence when displayed in a simple frame or hoop, bringing warmth to kitchen or dining spaces year-round.
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.
