Pattern description
This 98x98 stitch counted cross-stitch design captures a formal topiary tree rising from an intricately detailed pedestal planter in soft, muted greens and cream tones. The composition features a perfectly spherical green canopy dotted with delicate white highlights, anchored in a decorative classical urn with ornamental base elements. The restrained, elegant palette and geometric precision make this an intermediate-level project requiring 28 DMC thread colors to render the subtle shading and ornamental details. Perfect for creating a sophisticated framed piece or heirloom needlework project, this pattern works beautifully as home décor reflecting classical garden aesthetics and timeless elegance. The intricate planter design rewards patient stitching with a polished, gallery-worthy result that appeals to gardeners and those who appreciate formal botanical imagery. Chart available as a printable PDF for stitching on 14-count Aida fabric.

- Work in small blocks to keep counting accurate and spot mistakes early.
