Pretty Flowers to Stitch for Spring

It feels like there are no end of cross stitch flower patterns, and they’re a great thing to knit in the spring if you’re waiting for real flowers to bloom, or as a Mother’s Day gift for a special mom in your life. Let’s look at some colorful and fun to stitch flower cross stitch patterns.

I love this collection of colorful bouquets from Catstitch21. There are eight patterns included and they all vary in size and number of colors, so if you like them check out the listing on Etsy for all the details.

Wizardi has this pretty pink dahlia cross stitch pattern kit with a bit of a watercolor look. The kit includes 14 count fabric, the pattern, cross stitch instructions in four languages and the 17 colors of floss you’ll need. The design comes out to 4.33 inches or 11 cm square.

Amanda Gregory Designs has a cute free cross stitch pattern for a basket full of daffodils. The design is 56 by 56 stitches, which comes out to 4 inches or 10 cm square. It uses 13 colors for the cross stitching and four different colors for back stitching.

If you want some flowers that don’t look super realistic, try the geometric spring flowers design from Tango Stitch. This one is 139 by 139 stitches, which comes out to about 9.8 inches or 25 cm square. It uses eight colors and you could easily change it up to suit your decor.

Nothing says spring like delicate white blossoms on trees, whether that’s dogwood or cherry blossoms or anything else that’s blooming. These spring flowers from Design for Cross Stitch are so pretty and delicate with lots of details. The pattern uses 18 colors and is 108 by 162 stitches. That comes out to 8.07 by 10.5 inches or 20.5 by 26.67 cm on 14 count fabric.

Looking ahead to summer flowers, there’s also this cute black eyed susan cross stitch pattern from AOK Corral. This free pattern is 45 by 59 stitches, or 3 by 4 inches (7.5 by 10 cm) on 14 count fabric and uses eight colors

Cross Stitch Patterns for Mom

Last fall I came across this cross stitch pattern for a sea turtle and I talked myself out of sharing it right away because tropical animals don’t feel like a “fall” thing, but now that it’s summer again, let’s take a look at some cross stitch patterns for creatures that live in or around the sea.

This sea turtle design from Witch Wolf Web Creations is literally just a chart with no grid to help you count stitches or suggested colors, but I would print it out and add a grid to make it easier to stitch. You can work it in many colors as shown, or there’s also a black and white version so you could just do it in a single color.

Stitch up some fish or a seahorse with this bundle of four tropical fish cross stitch patterns from LaSelva Design. It includes a clownfish, seahorse, moorish idol and blue tang, all of which vary in size and colors used, but they’re all really cute.

Or you can stitch a tank’s worth of tropical fish with this project from SamXstitch. There are 22 fish in all on this project, which measures 153 by 153 stitches. On 14 count fabric that’s 10.93 inches or 27.75 cm. It uses 15 colors.

I also love the jewel-toned fishies on this project from Velvet Pony Design. This one has seven fish and a seahorse and measures 113 by 140 stitches. That’s just over 8 by 10 inches or 20.5 by 25.4 cm on 14 count fabric, though you can make it smaller with a higher fabric count. It calls for 24 colors.

This vintage design from Past Pattern Palooza Co has a whole school of little fish. The design is 120 by 260 stitches and uses 30 colors. It measures 8.57 by 18.57 inches (21.7 by 47.2 cm) on 14 count fabric. The pattern notes say there are 69 designs in total, an individual fish range from 1.5 to 3 inches, or 4.5 to 8 cm.

You can stitch up a whole tropical world complete with coral using this design from Easy Stitching Outlet (though I don’t think this one is particularly easy). At 219 by 95 stitches, on 14 count fabric it will come out to 15.6 by 6.8 inches, or 39.73 by 17.24 cm.
