Pattern description
A classic counted cross stitch pattern capturing an elegant deep crimson rose with verdant green stem and leafwork against a cream background. The 95 x 95 stitch count makes this an ideal intermediate-level project that balances visual impact with manageable scope. With 15 DMC thread colors, you'll develop shading techniques as you build the rich jewel tones of the bloom, creating depth and dimension that elevates this timeless floral motif from simple to sophisticated. This standalone rose composition works beautifully as a framed needlework piece for bedrooms, living spaces, or as a heartfelt handmade gift. The traditional subject matter and jewel-toned palette make it equally appropriate for both contemporary and classic home décor settings. Stitched on 14-count Aida fabric with the provided DMC color palette, the finished piece measures approximately 6.75 x 6.75 inches, perfect for standard frame sizes.
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.
