Pattern description
This beginner-friendly counted cross stitch features two blooming roses rendered in striking red against a soft linen background, with green stems and foliage creating natural balance. The 74 x 74 stitch count makes it an ideal size for samplers, greeting cards, or small framed pieces that pack visual impact without overwhelming new stitchers.
Create a classic needlework project using just two DMC thread colors—vibrant red for the full, romantic rose blooms and deep forest green for the botanical elements. The pixelated aesthetic gives traditional florals a modern, graphic quality perfect for contemporary home décor. This pattern works beautifully on standard Aida fabric and produces a finished piece that's equally suited as a thoughtful handmade gift or a charming addition to a gallery wall of cross stitch samplers.
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.
