Pretty Cross Stitch Flower Patterns for Spring

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.

Cross Stitch with Art is a Ukraine-based Etsy shop with more than 1,000 patterns covering a wide range of subject matter, from sarcastic (and stabby) animals to jokes about mental health, tarot cards, holiday designs and a lot more.

The funny and adult humor section is by far the largest, with lots of snarky word art designs, often with a floral wreath thrown in for extra cuteness. There’s a bit of swearing in here, too (as well as in other sections).

My favorite place because I love that there are enough of these sorts of patterns to warrant their own section, is the Chaotic Animal Society. I feel like this is a type of cross stitch pattern that I share often, but it is a bit of a trend right now, too.

This one is a racoon in its bathrobe drinking a coffee and reassuring us that nothing is under control. That’s pretty relatable. The design is 86 by 91 stitches and uses 9 colors. It comes out to a little less than 6.5 inches or 16.5 cm square on 14 count fabric.

There are also a ton of mental health quote patterns (here again with plenty of snark as you might imagine, but also some sweeter ones, too); Halloween, Christmas, Valentines and other holiday patterns; nature patterns divided into animals and flowers and landscape designs; BookTok patterns and more.

There’s a nice collection of made up tarot cards including the antisocial butterfly, a reading dragon and a rainbow haired unicorn doing yoga. You’ll find feminist designs, Celtic knots and tree of life patterns, blank frames you can add your own sentiments to and a bunch of fonts to help you do just that.

Even though that covers a lot of the chaotic fun happening in this shop, there’s really a lot to see so you should head over to Cross Stitch with Art on Etsy and see it for yourself!
