Pattern description
This vibrant rose captures the essence of romantic needlework with its rich crimson and scarlet petals rendered in striking pixel form. The 75x75 stitch count creates a compact, manageable project that works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric, producing a finished piece around 5.5 inches square. The intermediate skill level suits stitchers ready to tackle color blending and subtle shading across fourteen DMC thread colors.
Perfect for framing as a standalone accent or incorporating into a larger floral sampler, this red rose brings warmth and elegance to any space. The contrasting chartreuse leaves ground the composition with fresh botanical realism, while the gradient of warm oranges and coral tones through the petals creates luminous depth. Whether you're stitching a gift for a loved one or adding to your own home décor, this classic flower motif remains timeless—ideal for Valentine's Day, anniversaries, or simply celebrating the beauty of counted cross stitch embroidery.
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.
