Jar

About the design

This pattern captures a trio of charming glass containers: two slender bottles flanking a wider jar filled with a small bouquet. The center jar holds pink, coral, and violet blossoms with bright yellow centers, all outlined in bold black against a crisp white background. The side bottles feature a checkerboard pattern in soft purple and lilac tones, giving the whole set a decorative, apothecary-shelf feel. Tan corks cap each vessel, tying the three pieces together as a cohesive display piece.

Skill level and time

Rated as intermediate, this design totals 197 stitches across a 30 by 30 grid, making it a satisfying project without demanding a long-term commitment. Most stitchers can expect to finish in around 1.5 hours, which makes it a nice option for an evening project or a quick addition to a larger sampler. The repeating checkerboard columns on the bottles offer a bit of rhythm once you get going, while the floral cluster in the jar adds enough variation to keep the stitching engaging.

Palette and materials

The design uses 8 colors, including black for the bold outlines, warm tan for the corks, and a range of pinks, corals, and purples for the flowers and bottle patterns. White fills the background and jar interior, letting the colors pop against the clean grid. A basic cross stitch kit with these hues will cover everything needed to bring this jar and bottle set to life on fabric.
