Pattern description
This 119×119 stitch counted cross-stitch pattern captures a full-petaled rose in warm blush tones, accented with layered green leaves in varying shades. The composition centers on a single blooming rose that fills most of the design space, creating an intimate and classic botanical subject. Soft gradations within the pink petals—from pale cream to deeper rose—give the flower dimensional depth and a romantic quality perfect for traditional needlework collectors.
With 24 DMC thread colors, the palette emphasizes gentle, warm hues rather than bold jewel tones. The rose's rosy-pink petals transition beautifully into peachy undertones, while the foliage ranges from olive to sage green, grounding the design with natural contrast without harshness. This soft color story makes the finished piece suitable for vintage-inspired or cottage-style home décor.
Stitchers rating this as intermediate-level needlework will find the design both accessible and rewarding. The petal work involves careful color blending to achieve the subtle shading visible in the image, while the leaf details require precision but remain manageable for experienced stitchers. The square stitch count makes it ideal for standard Aida fabric, and the completed piece translates beautifully as a framed botanical print, pillow cover, or treasured gift for gardeners and rose enthusiasts.
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.
