Pattern description
This counted cross-stitch pattern captures the vibrant essence of ripe tomatoes in a bold, pixelated style.

Green stem and leaf details complete the composition with natural accents.
At 62 × 62 stitches, this intermediate-level pattern strikes an ideal balance between visual impact and reasonable stitching time. The warm red palette and garden-fresh subject make it perfect for kitchen décor, a food-lover's gift, or as part of a farmers-market-themed needlework collection. Worked on standard Aida fabric with the provided DMC palette, this piece delivers satisfying results without overwhelming the stitcher.
