Pattern description
A striking silhouette design featuring a single-color, jewel-toned blue vase overflowing with organic, branch-like flourishes. At 90 x 90 stitches, this intermediate-level counted cross-stitch pattern uses just one DMC thread color, making it an ideal choice for stitchers seeking visual impact through monochromatic simplicity. The bold graphic composition works beautifully on Aida fabric, and the dense pixelated rendering creates a modern, almost digital aesthetic that complements contemporary home décor. The minimalist palette—deep sapphire blue on cream background—makes this vase pattern striking as a framed needlework piece or as part of a gallery wall display. Despite using a single thread color, the intermediate skill rating reflects the piece's size and the precision required to maintain the clean silhouette edges throughout stitching. Free printable PDF charts make this design accessible for both experienced needleworkers and those ready to challenge themselves beyond beginner projects.
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.
