Pattern description
A full-petaled rose in soft pink tones takes center stage in this 98 x 98 stitch counted cross-stitch pattern, rendered with impressive dimension and depth. The blooming flower appears to float against a natural linen-colored background, with careful shading that creates realistic shadows and highlights across each petal layer. A single green stem grounds the composition, completing a classic floral motif that feels both timeless and contemporary.
The sixteen DMC thread colors in this intermediate-level design create subtle gradations from pale blush to deep rose and burgundy, building a warm, inviting color palette. The shading technique brings genuine three-dimensionality to the flower, making it appear to gently unfold from the canvas. Stitchers will appreciate how the color transitions guide the needle through a satisfying progression of tones.
Ideal for framing as a standalone piece or incorporating into a larger home décor scheme, this rose pattern suits gift-giving for anniversaries, Mother's Day, or as a heartfelt present for flower lovers. The moderate stitch count and intermediate skill level make it accessible to stitchers with foundational experience looking to expand their abilities. When worked on 14-count Aida fabric using quality DMC floss, the finished piece measures approximately 7 x 7 inches, perfect for standard frames or embroidery hoops.
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.
