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’ve long had a soft spot for puffins, so of course when I found an Etsy shop called Murder Puffin I had to share it.

And I’m so glad I found it because they’ve got some weird stuff that I hope you’re going to like as much as I do.

There are cryptids and true crime, nautical themed designs, holiday wanted posters and an entire section called memento mori. So if that sounds like something you’d be into, read on.

The biggest section on the site, though, is Altoid tin cross stitch patterns. If you can’t quite imagine what an Altoid tin cross stitch pattern would be like, this mummy cross stitch tin is a pretty representative example.

Most of them have a character (in this case, the mummy, but it could be anything from an alien to a racoon to a gnome) or more than one, who is made into a tiny stuffed doll. There’s a design for the top and bottom inside of the tin; here it’s a pyramid and an anhk design. There’s also a small design for the top of the box. And finally, a kind of blanket and a pillow so you can tuck your little character into the box.

Each one is a cute little set that would be so fun to display (and play with!) on your desk or bookshelf. And there’s a great range of options to choose from.

In addition to those, you’ll find a lot of other fun stuff for the strange and unusual on your gift list. There are some delightfully creepy (and mostly cryptid-inspired) tarot cards. A whole set of dark samplers called Gothic murder family. And a section called potted cross stitch, with little designs like mushrooms, plants and pumpkins you can stitch up and “plant” in tiny pots.

There’s so much fun stuff you really just need to stop reading this and go visit Murder Puffin on Etsy. I hope you find it as delightful as I do!
