Pattern description
A single vibrant tulip commands this 103x103 stitch composition, rendered in bold fuchsia, coral, and orange tones that shift across the flower's face. The gradient effect creates dimensional depth, while the sturdy green stem and leaf provide clean botanical contrast against the cream background. This intermediate-level pattern uses 16 DMC thread colors to achieve the warm, jewel-toned palette that makes the bloom practically glow.
Framed by a cheerful pink decorative border, this counted cross stitch design works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric and translates into a finished piece around 7x7 inches. The straightforward silhouette and limited color range keep stitching manageable despite the intermediate skill level, making it ideal for needleworkers ready to tackle subtle shading without extreme complexity. Whether stitched as a springtime accent for your home, a thoughtful handmade gift, or a standalone framed keepsake, this tulip's warm, energetic presence brings cheerful botanical charm to any room.
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.
