Pattern description
Rendered in vibrant crimson and rich sage greens, this 99 x 99 stitch counted cross stitch pattern captures a raspberry with striking color depth. The composition balances a generous, detailed berry against lush foliage, creating visual interest across the canvas without overwhelming complexity. The contrast between warm reds and cool greens produces a jewel-toned mood that feels both natural and artistic.
Stitchers will find this intermediate-level project approachable yet rewarding. The 15 DMC thread colors offer enough variation to build dimension and texture, particularly in the berry's subtle shading and the layered leaf details visible in the design. Working on standard Aida fabric, the 99 x 99 count produces a finished piece roughly 7–10 inches square depending on fabric choice, making it ideal for framing or including in a textile collection.
This motif works beautifully as seasonal summer decor or as a year-round kitchen accent for garden enthusiasts. The jewel-toned palette appeals to those seeking needlework that avoids pastels in favor of saturated, statement colors. Whether you stitch it as a gift for a farmer's market lover or as a personal textile keepsake, the combination of botanical detail and bold hue makes it a memorable finished piece.
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.
