Pattern description
At just 46 x 46 stitches, this counted cross-stitch rose bursts with vibrant color across a compact canvas. The bright fuchsia petals create an eye-catching focal point, while the rich olive-green leaves and stems provide grounding contrast. Six DMC thread colors work together to build depth and dimension throughout the design, making it an ideal beginner project that delivers impressive visual impact without overwhelming complexity.
The jewel-toned palette of hot pink against earthy greens gives this piece a warm, garden-fresh appeal perfect for home décor or gift-giving. Stitched on standard Aida fabric with the DMC color chart, this pattern works beautifully as a small framed piece, greeting card insert, or component in a larger needlework project. The straightforward stitch count and limited color palette mean you'll complete this rose relatively quickly while building confidence in your embroidery skills—ideal for anyone transitioning from beginner to intermediate techniques.
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.
