Pattern description

This 138x138 stitch counted cross-stitch pattern captures an elegant rose in luminous pastels, blending soft blush pink, cream, and sage green across the bloom's layered petals.

This intermediate-level design rewards patient stitchers with a sophisticated finished piece that evokes vintage botanical elegance, perfect for framing as wall art or gifting to garden enthusiasts.

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.
