Pattern description
This 60×60 stitch counted cross-stitch design captures a boldly saturated red rose in full bloom, rendered in jewel tones with rich burgundy and orange accents throughout the petals. The lush green foliage frames the composition perfectly, creating natural contrast that makes the crimson flower pop off the cream Aida background. An intermediate-skill pattern, it requires patience and attention to color transitions but rewards stitchers with a striking, gallery-worthy finished piece.
The palette of 18 DMC thread colors allows for remarkable depth and dimension in this classic floral motif. Red rose cross-stitch projects work beautifully as romantic gifts, housewarming presents, or personal decor that brings warmth to any room. With its traditional needlework appeal and manageable 60×60 count, this pattern suits stitchers ready to move beyond beginner projects while maintaining the satisfying simplicity of a single focused subject. The downloadable PDF chart makes it easy to start whenever inspiration strikes.
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.
