Pattern description
Capture the fresh, summery essence of garden-fresh peas with this intermediate-level cross-stitch pattern. The design features a single pea pod rendered in rich, naturalistic greens with delicate shading that brings dimensional depth to the vegetables. At 38 x 38 stitches, this counted cross-stitch project uses 16 DMC thread colors to create authentic color variation, from deep forest tones to bright lime highlights that make the peas pop against the cream background. The vertical composition creates a striking, elongated silhouette perfect for narrow spaces or framed alongside other vegetable motifs. Ideal for kitchen décor, gardening enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates botanical needlework, this pattern combines accessible complexity with satisfying visual results. Stitch it on 14-count Aida fabric using the provided DMC palette, and you'll complete a charming piece in just a few stitching sessions. The warm, organic color palette and vegetable subject make it a natural fit for farmhouse style, sustainable living themes, or springtime 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.
