Pattern description
A classic pink rose blooms at the center of this 69 x 69 stitch counted cross-stitch pattern, framed by an intricate geometric border in warm peachy and coral tones. The delicate gradient shading across the petals creates dimension and realistic depth, while the green leaves provide natural contrast. The decorative frame elevates the composition from simple floral to heirloom-quality needlework.
Worked in 12 DMC thread colors on Aida fabric, this intermediate-level pattern suits stitchers ready to tackle shading techniques and ornamental details. The moderate stitch count makes it achievable without overwhelming commitment, and the balanced design works beautifully when framed or stitched as a pillow cover. Perfect for spring-inspired home décor or as a heartfelt handmade gift, this rose pattern celebrates timeless elegance and the meditative pleasure 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.
