Pattern description
This counted cross stitch pattern showcases a radiant sunflower composition framed by a lush botanical border. A bold, oversized bloom dominates the center with a rich chocolate brown disc surrounded by vibrant golden petals, while cascading flower clusters in warm yellows and fresh greens frame all four edges. The design balances statement impact with intricate detail work across its 230×230 stitch count, making it an ideal intermediate-to-advanced project. The warm color palette and symmetrical arrangement create a cheerful, garden-inspired aesthetic perfect for decorative cushion covers or wall hangings that brighten any living space.
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.
