Pattern description
At 425 x 425 stitches, this advanced counted cross stitch pattern captures a lush, full-bodied rose in layered shades of pink and magenta, anchored by a vibrant teal-green stem. The composition centers the bloom within a decorative circular border, creating a focused, elegant focal point ideal for framed needlework. Working with 28 DMC thread colors, stitchers will appreciate the dimensional shading that brings depth and movement to each petal, making this an engaging project for experienced crafters seeking a substantial challenge. The rich jewel-toned stem provides striking contrast against the soft pink petals, while the sophisticated color palette suits both traditional and contemporary décor. Whether stitched on classic 14-count Aida or preferred fabric count, the finished piece becomes a timeless floral accent for bedrooms, living rooms, or as a heartfelt gift for gardening enthusiasts and needlework lovers alike.
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.
