Pattern description
This counted cross-stitch pattern captures a jewel-toned raspberry in vivid crimson and pink, nestled within deeply textured green foliage rendered in 15 DMC thread colors. The composition balances the bold berry against layered leafy sprigs, creating visual depth and botanical authenticity that rewards careful attention during stitching.
At 99 x 99 stitches, this intermediate-level design offers an accessible challenge for stitchers moving beyond beginner projects. The stitch count makes it ideal for 14-count Aida fabric, yielding a finished piece around 7 by 7 inches—substantial enough to frame or display, yet manageable within a reasonable timeframe.
Perfect for fruit-themed kitchen décor or as a thoughtful handmade gift for gardeners and food enthusiasts, this raspberry needlework celebrates the natural beauty of summer harvests. The warm, saturated color palette evokes abundance and homemade jam-making traditions, making it equally fitting for rustic farmhouse interiors or cottage-style spaces seeking botanical character. The free cross-stitch PDF chart ensures you can begin stitching immediately, with all 15 colors clearly mapped for confident execution.
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.
