Pattern description
This counted cross-stitch features a full-blown pink rose as its focal point, surrounded by delicate cream-colored buds and rich green foliage. The composition balances a single dominant bloom with supporting botanical elements, creating a classic floral arrangement that captures both elegance and depth. At 136 x 136 stitches, the pattern offers a satisfying medium-sized project suitable for needleworkers ready to tackle intermediate-level techniques.
The palette of soft dusty pink petals paired with ivory buds and forest-green leaves produces a warm, romantic mood perfect for traditional or cottage-style interiors. With 25 DMC thread colors, this pattern rewards careful attention to shading and blending, allowing stitchers to create subtle dimension throughout the rose's ruffled petals. Stitched on 14-count Aida fabric, the finished piece measures approximately 9.7 x 9.7 inches—ideal for framing as wall art, incorporating into a decorative pillow, or gifting to romantics and garden enthusiasts 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.
