Daisy Cross Stitch Patterns

There are so many great flowers in spring, but daisies are one of my favorites. They’re a favorite of cross stitch designers, too, as I learned when I went looking for daisy cross stitch patterns and found a ton. Here are just a few that caught my eye. It turns out they’re the birth flower of May, so you can stitch them up for a May baby’s birthday or any other occasion.

If you want to keep it super simple or you’re a beginner, this daisy cross stitch pattern from Atelier Tiphanie is a great one. It uses six colors and is 40 by 40 stitches, so it should be a pretty fast project, too.

Luzatoyle has another easy daisy pattern that looks like they’ve been freshly plucked. This charming little design is 2.5 by 3 inches (6.35 by 7.62 cm) or 35 by 43 stitches and uses five colors.

Looking for a cross stitch kit to make a daisy? This one from Helens Crossing includes black fabric, a 4-inch hoop, thread and a needle. It’s rated for beginners so this might be a good one to gift someone new to cross stitch who loves flowers.

Or how about a daisy bookmark? This one form Natalka Studio is 31 by 99 stitches and uses 7 colors. That measures 2.2 by 7.1 inches or 5.6 by 18 cm on 14 count fabric and it’s an allover pattern, so you might need to add a little extra fabric for edging if you want.

This bee and daisy pattern from Mariana Goncalves ART is super sweet and pretty easy, too. It measures 70 by 70 stitches, or 5 by 5 inches (that’s 12.7 cm) on 14 count fabric, which is super cute in a 6-inch hoop.

This wreath of daisies from The Fresh Cross Stitch is also pretty and not too difficult, though it is a larger pattern at 150 by 150 stitches. It uses 8 colors and on 14 count fabric comes out to 10.7 inches or 27 cm square.

Playing on the idea that daisies are April’s flower is this sweet pattern from Stitch Haus Studio Shop (leave the word April off if you prefer). The design comes out to 10.7 by 14.3 inches (27.2 by 36 cm) on 14 count fabric and uses 14 colors.

I love this watercolor daisy pattern from XStitchPatternX because it looks like the flowers are still growing in a field of wildflowers. This pattern uses 28 colors and measures 108 by 200 stitches. On 14 count fabric that would come out to 7.87 by 14.7 inches, or 20.3 by 36.3 cm.

As a knitter, I love a good sheep motif, so let’s take a look at some cute sheep cross stitch patterns.

If you want to stitch a little sheep, this mini square from Good Dog Needleworks is a nice choice. It uses just three colors and measures 32 by 32 stitches. That’s 2.2 inches or about 5.5 cm square if you stitch it on 14 count fabric.

I also love these two little sheep, which you can stitch together or in individual hoops and shown. The designs are form Threadbound Art and use six colors. They are slightly different in size, with one being 21 by 17 stitches and the other 21 by 20. They fit in four inch frames if you work them on 14 count fabric.

You can stitch a sweet sheep bookmark with this design from Kits by SA Stitch. This is not for the person who doesn’t like back stitch, because there’s a lot of that here, but it is really cute. It measures 30 by 91 stitches and uses 10 colors. That will make your bookmark about 2.4 by 6.5 inches, or 6 by 16.5 cm on 14 count fabric.

Stitch a pretty scene of sheep in a meadow with this design from Motok Nytok. It uses 21 colors and the design is 99 by 73 stitches. On 14 count fabric that makes it about 7.07 by 5.21 inches, or 17.96 by 13.24 cm.

This yarn full of cross stitch sheep has a bit of a knitting twist because the sheep all look like they have sweaters on. The design is from Soda Stitch Design and it measures 179 by 216 stitches. The full design uses 27 colors. On 14 count fabric it will work out to 12.78 by 15.42 inches, or 32.48 by 39.19 cm.

Another great one with a knitting theme is this one where the wool is coming off the sheep and straight onto the needles. This one is from Happy Cross Stitchers and uses 12 colors. The pattern is 137 by 137 stitches, which comes out to 9.7 inches or 24.86 cm square on 14 count fabric. This would be a fun one to stitch for the knitter in your life (even if that is you).

Or you can stitch the field of sheep of a knitter’s dreams with the Happy Sheep chart from Charts and Stuff. These per-colored sheep can be stitched as shown or worked in any colors you like. The eyes are French knots but you can just stitch them in white if you’d rather.
