Pattern description
This counted cross stitch pattern captures a lush bouquet of jewel-toned pansies in deep magenta and burgundy hues. The composition features six blooms arranged on a single stem with authentic green foliage, creating a vertical design that suits framed pieces or small textile projects. Each pansy displays the characteristic dark face markings and cheerful yellow stamens that make these flowers instantly recognizable and beloved by needleworkers.
At 121 x 121 stitches, this intermediate-level project uses 24 DMC thread colors to achieve rich depth and dimensional shading. The color palette relies heavily on purples and magentas with subtle chocolate brown accents, producing a sophisticated mood perfect for autumn decor or Victorian-inspired interiors.
Stitchers will appreciate the balanced challenge this pattern presents—detailed enough to feel rewarding but achievable for those with basic counted cross stitch experience. The design works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric and comes as a free printable PDF chart, making it accessible for immediate projects. Whether creating a handmade gift or adding to a personal collection, this pansy pattern delivers classical floral elegance without demanding advanced needlework skills.
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.
