Pattern description
A regal purple iris dominates this counted cross-stitch composition, its deep magenta petals rendered in rich, jewel-like tones that pop against crisp white Aida. The flower's architectural form showcases delicate shading across multiple DMC thread colors, while graceful green leaves create elegant diagonal lines below. The 87×87 stitch count makes this a focused, portrait-like botanical study perfect for framing or decorative display.
This intermediate-level pattern demands attention to color transitions and precision stitching across 28 DMC thread variations, rewarding patient needleworkers with a sophisticated, gallery-worthy result. The cool jewel-tone palette—purples, teals, and olive greens—creates a moody elegance suited to vintage décor, cottage-style spaces, or as a thoughtful handmade gift for gardening enthusiasts. Cross-stitchers will appreciate the balance of technical challenge and achievable scope, making this violet an ideal project for expanding beyond beginner patterns without overwhelming complexity.
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.
