Pixelated Tree with Spreading Branches and Roots

Pattern description

This counted cross-stitch captures a stylized tree in rich moss green across an 88×88 square grid. The design balances a sturdy central trunk with expansive, organic branching that radiates outward, while a solid base suggests established roots. The composition flows naturally despite the blocky pixel aesthetic, making it ideal for intermediate stitchers seeking a satisfying project that reads clearly from a distance.

Four DMC thread colors create subtle depth and texture throughout, allowing the green palette to shift from darker shadows to lighter highlights. Stitched on standard Aida fabric, this pattern works beautifully as wall décor for nature-themed spaces, studies, or living rooms. The straightforward geometric approach means fewer color changes than intricate florals, yet the branching silhouette remains engaging enough to hold visual interest across your work.
