Pretty Cross Stitch Flower Patterns for Spring

February 24, 2023 by Sarah White Leave a Comment

For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, we’re getting pretty close to spring but it still feels far off for a lot of us who still have some cold weather to get through.

Stitching up some flowers before we can see them outside is a nice way to add a little color to late winter. These projects are perfect for framing, or you can add the smaller designs to aprons, napkins, or tea towels, stitch them and mount them on cards, or other uses.

I always think of daffodils first when I think of spring flowers. They’re just so cheerful and a bright spot in early spring days. This free pattern from Cross Stitch Club uses 26 colors and is 160 by 400 stitches. That’s about 11.4 by 28.5 inches on 14 count fabric.

Tulips are another favorite flower that comes up in the spring. This gorgeous design features tulips in a wheelbarrow and has a watercolor feel to it. The design is 185 by 181 stitches, or 13.2 by 12.9 inches on 14 count fabric. You can grab the pattern from Laser Arts Designs on Etsy.

This pretty pattern from DMC is called Spring Roses, and it was designed by Dana Batho. As shown it uses 20 colors but you could also stitch the flowers individually or without the branches and leaves among them if you don’t like that look or want something a little more minimalist.

And if you’re looking for a bunch of different flowers — spring flowers or otherwise — that you can stitch as a giant sampler or add to all sorts of projects throughout the year, check out this collection of 48 flowers from So Easy PDF on Etsy. This is a digital download of a pattern originally released in the 1990s. There are all sorts of flowers to stitch here including daffodils, hyacinths, roses, bleeding hearts, hibiscus and more. Great for cross stitching flowers throughout the year.

Stitch Up Tiny Landmarks in Stamp Form

I don’t know if stamps are trending as a craft motif or maybe I’m just ahead of the game, but Pinterest has been serving me a lot of content in all sorts of craft genres having to do with stamps lately. We’re talking little stamp shaped paintings and sewing projects and, as you might image based on where you are reading this, stamp cross stitch patterns.

Maybe it’s because we’re feeling a collective loss of attention span lately and we need little, cute, satisfying crafts to get us through these long, hard days.

Or maybe the algorithm knows I’m a sucker for cute little satisfying projects.

Whatever.

One such example is this lovely little collection of 20 world landmarks stitched in stamp form. The design is from Teeny Weeny X Stitch and I’m not sure I can identify all of them off the top of my head (and the pattern listing doesn’t say), a few of them are the Eiffel Tower, Big Ben, the Taj Mahal, the pyramids in Egypt (and a Mayan pyramid, too!), Christ the Redeemer, the Statue of Liberty, the Sydney Opera House, the Colosseum, Stonehenge, the Washington Monument and the Great Wall of China.

If you can identify more of them, let me know!

Each pattern is 40 by 40 stitches and they use between 9 and 23 colors depending on the location. They come out less than 3 inches/7.6 cm when stitched on 14 count fabric.

I kind of love the whole set done as one big piece, but you could also stitch your favorites as individual projects. How cute would a little Eiffel Tower be in your scrapbook about your trip to France (if you are such a person to travel to France and keep scrapbooks)? A little Leaning Tower of Pisa made into a patch to cover a stain on a shirt? The possibilities are endless!

You can grab the pattern from Teeny Weeny X Stitch on Etsy.
