Strawberry patch

About the Design

Four strawberries, each paired with a leafy sprig, are arranged in a mirrored diamond composition that reads well as a single motif or a repeating border. The fruit is built up from dark red and medium garnet shading with small ultra pale yellow seed accents, while the leaves combine forest green and a deeper very dark forest green for shadow and shape. The white background keeps every berry crisp and easy to place on a finished project.

Skill Level and Time

This chart is rated beginner friendly, made up of large solid blocks of color with only five thread colors total, so there is little color changing to track as you stitch. The full design covers 2,372 stitches across a 65 by 61 grid, and most stitchers can expect to finish in around 20 hours, making it a satisfying weekend-to-week project for someone building confidence with charted work.

Palette and Materials

The five-color palette pairs dark red and medium garnet for the strawberry bodies with very dark forest green and forest green for the leaves, finished with a light scatter of ultra pale yellow seed dots across each berry. Because the shapes are simple and the color count stays low, this pattern works nicely on aida or evenweave for kitchen linens, small hoop art, or a single block within a larger quilted or stitched sampler.
