Pattern description
A striking tulip motif rendered in warm reds and coral tones takes center stage, anchored by a bold two-leaf composition in rich greens. This 40×40 stitch counted cross stitch design balances a rounded, layered bloom with an angular, geometric foliage base, creating visual interest through contrasting forms.
The 12-color DMC palette combines peachy oranges, deep crimsons, and forest greens to build dimension and depth, while the intermediate skill level makes this pattern rewarding without overwhelming. Perfect for framing as a botanical accent piece or incorporating into a spring-themed needlework collection, this tulip works beautifully on 14-count Aida and translates wonderfully into wall art or personalized gifts for plant lovers and embroidery enthusiasts alike.
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.
