Did you know?
The rowan, or mountain ash, is a hardy deciduous tree beloved across northern Europe and Asia for its brilliant orange-red berries and delicate, feathery compound leaves. Each rowan leaf is composed of many small leaflets arranged in opposing pairs along a central stem—a structure that inspired countless geometric and ornamental design traditions in textiles and botanical illustration.

Pattern description
This intermediate cross-stitch captures a rowan leaf in striking radial symmetry, rendered in soft, layered greens against a cream linen ground. The 57 × 57 stitch count creates a compact, focused design using eleven DMC thread colors to build depth and dimension across the paired leaflets. Whether stitched on Aida or linen, the varied green palette—from pale sage to forest tones—gives the botanical motif a naturalistic quality while the geometric arrangement suits modern and traditional décor alike. An ideal pattern for framing or incorporating into a larger needlework project.
