Pattern description
This counted cross stitch pattern features a delicate repeating border of pink cabbage roses with soft green foliage, rendered in 14 DMC thread colors across 193 x 193 stitches. The romantic rose motif creates an elegant frame perfect for personalizing linens, framed needlework, or decorative home accents. The pale background allows the layered pink blooms to take center stage, creating a sophisticated color palette that suits both vintage and contemporary décor styles. At the advanced skill level, this design rewards experienced stitchers with its detailed floral shading and nuanced color transitions that bring dimension to each rose. The symmetrical composition makes it versatile for multiple applications—stitch it as a continuous border on Aida fabric, or isolate individual floral clusters for smaller projects. With its timeless romantic appeal, this needlepoint pattern works beautifully for gift-giving, bridal projects, or adding a delicate feminine touch to any room.
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.
