Pattern description
This 40x40 stitch pattern showcases five radiant rose blooms rendered in warm, saturated hues—deep crimsons, golden oranges, and soft creams—that create striking depth and dimension. The composition stacks the florals in descending scale, with green leaves anchoring each design element and adding natural contrast. At intermediate skill level with 23 DMC thread colors, this counted cross stitch project suits stitchers ready to blend multiple color transitions and develop shading techniques across luxurious, layered petals.
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.
