Pattern description
At 108 x 108 stitches, this intermediate-level counted cross-stitch design showcases a vibrant raspberry rendered in rich red tones accented by lush green foliage. The composition balances the plump fruit as the focal point with layered leaves surrounding it, creating visual depth and a naturally organic arrangement. Working with 15 DMC thread colors adds subtle dimension through color blending and shading techniques that bring the berry to life on 14-count Aida fabric.
Perfect for fresh fruit enthusiasts and kitchen-themed needlework, this pattern works beautifully as a small wall hanging or decorative hoop display. The jewel-tone palette—deep crimsons, rosy pinks, and forest greens—creates a sophisticated mood suitable for both rustic and modern home settings. Its compact size makes it an approachable project for intermediate stitchers seeking rewarding complexity without overwhelming scope. The downloadable PDF chart and DMC thread specifications make sourcing materials straightforward, while the timeless fruit motif appeals to those drawn to botanical embroidery or seasonal décor.
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.
