Pattern description
Three graceful pink tulips rise from layered green stems in this intermediate-level counted cross stitch design. The composition showcases soft magenta blooms arranged at varying heights, creating natural movement and visual interest. Set against a neutral cream background and framed by a delicate rope-like green border, the pattern measures 113 × 113 stitches and uses 12 DMC thread colors to achieve subtle shading and dimension within each petal.
This needlework project is ideal for stitchers ready to move beyond beginner patterns, requiring careful attention to color blending and shading techniques to bring the tulips to life. The 12-color palette ranges from pale pink highlights to deep rose shadows, allowing you to develop your color-work skills on 14-count Aida fabric. Perfect for spring décor or as a heartfelt gift, the classic tulip motif works beautifully framed or displayed in a decorative pillow.
