Pattern description
With its bold scarlet petals radiating from a warm golden heart, this counted cross-stitch pattern captures the exuberance of a full-bloom poppy or dahlia. The 35×35 stitch count makes it an ideal intermediate project that delivers striking visual impact without overwhelming complexity. Ten DMC thread colors blend seamlessly to create depth and dimension, particularly in the gradient transition from bright red to the luminous yellow center. Stitched on standard Aida fabric with the included chart, this cheerful motif works equally well as a framed accent piece, greeting card, or small decorative wall hanging that brightens any room with its natural warmth.
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.
