Pattern description
This 74 x 74 stitch counted cross-stitch pattern captures a full-blown red rose with deep crimson shadows and golden cream highlights, creating a classically romantic needlework project. The 17 DMC thread colors blend warm reds, burnt oranges, and soft peachy tones to give the flower dimensional depth and a velvety appearance.

Perfect for framing as bedroom décor or gifting to gardeners and romantics alike, this warm-toned rose pattern suits cross-stitch enthusiasts ready to expand their color-blending techniques.
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.
