Pattern description
This 71 x 71 stitch pattern captures a full-bloomed rose rendered in rich, layered reds and hot pinks with a charming gingham-style border. The composition centers a single blossom with dimensional shading that creates depth, framed by dark olive and sage green leaves. At intermediate skill level, it's an ideal project for stitchers ready to work with 16 DMC thread colors and appreciate subtle color blending.
Stitched on Aida fabric, this design works beautifully as a framed needlework piece or decorative accent for home décor. The warm, saturated palette—ranging from deep burgundy to blush and cream tones—makes it a perfect gift for gardeners, flower enthusiasts, or anyone seeking classic floral embroidery. The scalloped border adds a cottage-style charm that suits traditional rooms, and the compact square format adapts well to small frames or pillow covers. A free printable PDF chart makes it accessible for immediate stitching projects.
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.
