Two Bold Strawberries with Seed Details

Pattern description

Two ripe strawberries dominate this intermediate counted cross-stitch design, rendered in brilliant reds with cheerful yellow seed accents scattered across each fruit's surface. Green leafy crowns top both berries, creating a lively, fresh composition that spans 46 × 46 stitches. The bold color palette—deep reds, bright yellows, and vibrant greens with black outlining—gives the pattern striking visual impact on even a small Aida count.

This project uses 12 DMC thread colors, making it accessible for stitchers ready to move beyond single-color simplicity but not yet tackling complex shading schemes. The symmetrical pair of fruits and their consistent seed pattern create a satisfying, rhythmic stitching experience. On 14-count Aida, the finished piece measures roughly 3 × 3 inches—perfect for a small gift, a greeting card insert, or a quick seasonal needlework project.

Strawberries work wonderfully as kitchen décor, spring gifts, or summer-themed additions to a stitcher's portfolio. The design's cheerful energy suits kitchen towels, small hoops, or framed mini-pieces. Whether stitched in gift-quality floss or practiced as a skill-building exercise, this bold two-berry design delivers instant visual reward and pairs naturally with other fruit and vegetable patterns in the catalog.
