Pattern description
A single pink tulip commands this compact counted cross stitch design, rendered in vibrant raspberry and cream gradations that create dimensional depth. The flower is framed by a decorative border of alternating pink and green motifs, adding a folk-art charm reminiscent of traditional needlework. At 79 x 79 stitches, this intermediate-level pattern works efficiently on Aida fabric and completes in manageable timeframes.
This pattern employs 20 DMC thread colors to achieve subtle shading throughout the bloom's petals and the rich green stem with paired leaves. The composition balances botanical realism with graphic simplicity, making it ideal for spring-themed décor, gift projects, or as a decorative panel in a sampler collection. Cross stitchers seeking moderate complexity will appreciate the color variety without overwhelming stitch counts, while the jewel-toned palette suits both traditional and contemporary stitching spaces.
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.
