Pattern description
A striking composition of deep crimson carnations arranged in a bold, rounded cluster dominates this 126×126 counted cross-stitch pattern. The blooms are rendered in rich jewel tones—from wine-dark reds to burgundy—creating a sophisticated, moody palette that reads dramatically on white Aida fabric. Yellow French knots mark each flower's center, adding warmth and definition to the composition.
The intermediate skill level suits stitchers comfortable with shading and color variation. Fourteen DMC thread colors build the depth required for realistic petal texture and tonal complexity across the five full blooms and scattered buds.
Ideal as a framed piece or greeting-card cover, this pattern works beautifully for autumn or winter displays, or as a tribute to those drawn to classic floral embroidery in sophisticated colorways. The warm-hued centers and lush green stems complete a design that celebrates timeless needlework tradition.
