Pattern description
This 68×68 stitch counted cross-stitch pattern captures a full-bloom rose in deep jewel-toned reds and burgundies, rendered with subtle shading that brings dimensional depth to the petals. The composition centers a single, generous flower head above a graceful green stem accented with realistic foliage, creating an elegant botanical study perfect for framing or incorporating into larger needlework projects. With 14 DMC thread colors and intermediate skill level, stitchers will appreciate the color blending opportunities that define the rose's natural contours and the satisfying progression from petal work to leafy details.
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.
