Pattern description
This counted cross stitch pattern showcases three bold crimson roses arranged in a horizontal vignette, framed by rich green foliage that creates an elegant, romantic composition. The 132 x 132 stitch count uses 17 DMC thread colors to build depth and dimension, with the saturated red blooms commanding attention against a subtle background. The intermediate skill level makes this an ideal project for stitchers ready to move beyond basics while still enjoying an achievable finish. The jewel-toned palette and balanced design make this pattern versatile for home décor—frame it as a standalone focal piece, stitch it onto a greeting card, or incorporate it into a decorative pillow. Work it on 14-count Aida fabric with the provided DMC chart for a polished heirloom-quality result that celebrates timeless floral elegance.
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.
