Pattern description
The Red Rose cross-stitch pattern captures the timeless elegance of a classic bloom, making it a rewarding choice for needleworkers seeking a charming floral project. This 58 × 58 stitch counted cross-stitch design features just 9 DMC thread colors, creating a rich, detailed image without overwhelming complexity. The moderate size makes it perfect for completing in a single sitting or as part of a larger needlework collection. Each color has been carefully selected to bring depth and dimension to the petals and leaves, resulting in a piece that looks far more intricate than its straightforward stitch count suggests.

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.
