Stitching the Violet pattern brings the delicate charm of these beloved flowers to life with an elegant 87 × 87 stitch count that's perfectly sized for focused needlework. This counted cross stitch design captures the intricate details of violet petals and foliage using a rich palette of 28 DMC thread colors, creating depth and dimension as you work through each section.

- Work in small blocks to keep counting accurate and spot mistakes early.
