Pattern description
This counted cross-stitch pattern captures a full-petaled rose in soft coral and salmon tones, composed of 117 x 117 stitches on a clean black ground. The pixelated rendering emphasizes the layered structure of the bloom, with darker red-orange tones at the center gradually shifting to pale pink at the outer edges. The square canvas shape gives the design a framed, gallery-like quality ideal for displaying finished needlework as wall art.
At the intermediate skill level, stitchers will appreciate the color variety—15 distinct DMC thread colors create subtle depth and dimension without overwhelming complexity. The warm palette makes this rose feel inviting and romantic, less formal than cool-toned florals, suiting both traditional and contemporary home décor schemes.
Whether stitched as a gift for a gardening enthusiast or displayed in a bedroom or living space, this rose pattern offers satisfying progress through its moderate stitch count. Worked on standard Aida fabric with the provided DMC color palette, the finished piece measures approximately 8–10 inches square depending on fabric count, making it perfectly proportioned for small frames or hoop mounting.
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.
