Pattern description
A striking study in jewel-toned reds, this counted cross-stitch pattern captures a single rose in full bloom against a neutral background. The flower's petals graduate from deep burgundy to bright crimson, creating dimensional depth and realistic texture. With 143 x 143 stitches worked across 20 DMC thread colors, this intermediate-level design offers a satisfying balance of complexity and achievability for stitchers ready to move beyond beginner patterns.
Perfect for classic home décor, this rose needlework translates beautifully onto 14-count Aida fabric and makes an impressive framed gift for special occasions—anniversaries, Valentine's Day, or as a timeless keepsake. The rich red palette pairs well with traditional or vintage-inspired interiors, and the moderate stitch count ensures completion within weeks rather than months. Whether you're drawn to botanical needlework or seeking a statement piece with romantic appeal, this design delivers elegant results with a manageable working experience.
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.
