Spring Flower Cross Stitch Patterns

I know it’s not until April we talk about showers bringing flowers, but if you need to see some blooms in the meantime, why not stitch yourself a bunch of spring flowers with these cross stitch patterns?

Crafting is My Hobby has a bunch of cute and easy flower cross stitch patterns that look in the photos to be stitched onto crochet, but of course you can use them on regular cross stitch fabric or whatever other fabric you like. Each one is an individual download.

The spring floral hoop art from Amanda G Cross Stitch on Etsy is so cheerful and pretty it can make any cold, snowy day feel a little brighter as you stitch it. It features daffodils, crocuses and other spring flowers, and the design is 130 by 139 stitches. If you work it on 14 count fabric it will fit in a 12-inch hoop. It uses 29 colors.

If you’re looking for something a little simpler, Stitching Space has a free daffodil/narcissus cross stitch pattern designed by Filippova Tatiana that uses eight colors and two blends. (The notes are in Russian but you can figure it out without words.)

I’m not sure these yellow flowers from Box and Fox are meant to be any particular kind of flower from nature, but they sure are cheerful, and you could make them in any colors you like. This little pattern is only 26 by 40 stitches so you could stitch up a whole field of them in lots of different colors in no time.

I also love this little sampler of lots of different flowers and bugs from Etsy seller Cross Stitch Paterns. It has a very folk art feel, and while it’s cute all stitched together you could also break out individual designs to stitch on cards, cloth napkins, or anywhere else that needs a floral touch. The full pattern is 170 by 202 stitches and uses 12 colors in cross stitch and back stitch.

I recently wrote a post on my blog about using a stitchable journal cover and I mentioned that you can make your own stitched cover for a journal by using perforated paper instead of buying a stitchable notebook.

I have to admit, though, that I’ve never used perforated paper for cross stitch myself. I definitely want to because I think it would be great to use for bookmarks that don’t fray and have a little more stability, for example.

Sirious Stitches has us covered, though, because they did a deep dive into all things perforated cross stitch pattern that is worth the time to read through.

The post mentions that a lot of people use perforated paper for cross stitch because they buy an ornament kit that uses it. I’ve never seen these (or at least never noticed that that is what they were) but it’s a great idea to make small projects like ornaments in this way. It also talks about the pros and cons of using cross stitch paper, where to buy it and how to make your own.

Making it yourself is an awesome idea because if you already have a pattern in mind you can just make holes in your paper where you need stitches to be and leave the rest solid. This would be ideal for making greeting cards, for example.

In addition to kits and sheets you can often find the paper pre-cut into different shapes you can use to make your own designs, no real pattern required.

The post also includes tips and advice for how to stitch on perforated paper that you’ll want to check out before you try your first project.

I’m super intrigued by the idea of using perforated paper for cross stitch and will probably be trying it out soon. Have you used it before? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
