Pattern description
This 84 x 84 stitch counted cross stitch pattern captures a jewel-toned rose in its full, velvety depth. The blooming flower dominates the composition in rich reds and burgundies, while carefully placed green leaves provide striking contrast and frame the design beautifully. The 12 DMC thread colors work together to create dimensional shading across the petals, from dark wine centers to softer crimson edges.
At intermediate skill level, this needlework project offers a satisfying challenge without overwhelming complexity. Stitchers will appreciate how the color gradations build realistic form within the rose, making each thread color choice feel purposeful and rewarding as the image emerges on Aida fabric.
Perfect for gift-giving or displaying as home décor, this deep red rose carries timeless romantic symbolism while the bold jewel-tone palette suits modern and traditional spaces alike. Available as a free printable PDF chart with DMC color references, it's an accessible project for anyone seeking a classic floral design that makes an elegant statement on any stitched piece.
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.
