Pattern description
A vertical parade of vibrant red roses march up this compact bookmark pattern, each bloom rendered in crisp counted cross stitch against a cream Aida ground. The design uses just three DMC colors—red for the full, geometric flower heads, green for the delicate trailing stems and leaves, and cream for the background—making it an ideal beginner project. A cheerful red checkerboard border frames the composition, adding a folk-art charm perfect for marking pages or framing as a small needlework gift.
