Pattern description
The White Rose cross-stitch pattern captures the delicate elegance of a blooming rose, making it a rewarding project for needleworkers who appreciate botanical subjects. This 145 × 145 stitch counted cross-stitch design uses 29 DMC thread colors to create depth and dimension in the petals and foliage. The intricate color palette transitions from pure white through soft creams and pale greens, allowing stitchers to develop shading techniques while watching the rose gradually come to life on their fabric. The balanced square format makes this pattern ideal for creating framed needlework or incorporating into larger projects.
Designed for intermediate-level stitchers, this pattern suits anyone with foundational cross-stitch experience who wants to expand their skills through color blending and detailed work. The free printable PDF chart includes a complete DMC color key for easy reference, making it simple to source your thread before beginning. This pattern works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric, producing a finished piece measuring approximately 10.4 × 10.4 inches. Whether you're an experienced embroidery enthusiast or ready to challenge yourself with a more complex project, this White Rose pattern offers an accessible yet engaging stitching experience.
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.
