Pattern description
This counted cross stitch pattern captures a single rosemary sprig rendered in rich, naturalistic greens with subtle shading that brings the herb to life on fabric. The vertical composition stretches elegantly across 47×47 stitches, showcasing the needle-like foliage characteristic of this aromatic plant through thoughtful color gradation. Using 12 DMC thread colors, the design balances intermediate-level complexity with achievable stitch work, making it rewarding for embroiderers with basic experience looking to develop shading techniques through a compact project.
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.
