Did you know?
Raspberries grow on thorny bramble canes and consist of hundreds of tiny drupelets clustered together—each drupelets contains a seed surrounded by its own fleshy layer. This aggregate structure makes them delicate and perishable compared to most fruits, which is why they're prized fresh and rarely travel far from where they're grown. Their deep crimson color indicates peak ripeness and anthocyanin content, the antioxidant that gives them their distinctive flavor and health benefits.

Pattern description
This 82×82 stitch raspberry pattern captures the plump, dimensional form of the fruit in bold deep reds and warm peachy highlights. The counted cross-stitch design uses 18 DMC thread colors to build realistic texture and shadow, creating visual depth that makes the berry appear to sit within the cream-colored Aida background. The intermediate skill level rewards stitchers with satisfying color blending and shading techniques.
An ideal project for needleworkers seeking a concentrated design that showcases embroidery versatility without overwhelming complexity. The finished piece works beautifully as kitchen décor, a framed small gift, or part of a fruit-themed series. With the downloadable PDF chart and standard DMC palette, stitchers can easily customize fabric count or scale—perfect for beginners ready to tackle realistic subject matter and those perfecting their shading skills in counted cross stitch.
