Spring Flower Wreath Cross Stitch Patterns

If you’re like me, you’re probably feeling the need to change up some of your decor for spring. These spring wreath cross stitch patterns are great for this season and beyond, won’t look out of place with your Easter decor, and are just super cute to boot!

The little buds on this wreath from So Easy Pattern just feel like spring to me (and I hope the real ones are coming soon!). It measures 116 by 112 stitches, which comes out to 8.29 by 8 inches, or 21.05 by 20.32 cm on 14 count fabric. It uses eight colors. With this one and most of the others of course you can change up the colors to make them represent your favorite flowers or whatever goes with your decor.

This blue floral wreath from Crystal Feather Crafts is so pretty in hues of blue and purple. It’s 157 by 154 stitches, or 11 by 11.2 inches/28.5 by 28 centimeters if you stitch it on 14 count fabric. This one would be really pretty for a wedding gift with the couple’s name and wedding date stitched inside.

Speaking of weddings, this floral heart from DMC via LoveCrafts would be another cute one to make as a wedding gift. This one is rated for beginners and finishes out to about 12 by 13 inches, or 31 by 33 cm.

On DMC‘s website you’ll also find a pretty pink circular floral wreath. It uses seven colors and can be downloaded free when you submit your email, or buy all the supplies in kit form.

And nothing says spring like spring flowers and spring birds, which you’ll find on this cure pattern from Lucie Heaton. The little wren sitting in the flowers adds personality to this project, which uses 37 colors and measures 96 by 96 stitches. That’s 6.8 by 6.8 inches or 17.4 by 17.4 cm, the perfect size for gift giving. If 37 colors is too much for you, choosing variegated thread for some of the flowers or the wren’s body would make it a little simpler.

20 Cross Stitch Easter Signs

When I was first learning to cross stitch as a teen in the 1990s, I remember there being a lot of beginner kits available where the cross stitch pattern was stamped onto the fabric for you to stitch. This process eliminates the need for a printed pattern because you just stitch the colors as you see them printed on the fabric.

It’s a fun way to get started stitching, but I hadn’t really thought about stamped cross stitch in a while before I came upon this article from Caterpillar Cross Stitch talking about the differences between stamped cross stitch project and regular counted cross stitch patterns and why you might choose one over the other.

It mentions that stamped cross stitch isn’t just for beginners any more. There are actually a lot of designers that do stamped cross stitch with varying degrees of difficulty (and I found this cool tree of life project on Amazon as an example).

One benefit of these kinds of projects is that all the supplies you need are also included, so it can be a good way to build up your thread stash if you don’t use all of the supplies on the project included in the kit.

Of course when it comes to counted cross stitch projects with printed patterns you stitch onto fabric without guidance, there is a lot more variety in the kinds of projects and the skill level involved. Almost anything you are interested in you can find a printed pattern for, which is certainly not the case when it comes to stamped cross stitch patterns.

Still, stamped cross stitch patterns give you a great extra bit of guidance that can help build your confidence, regardless of your skill level.

Have you ever worked a stamped cross stitch pattern? I’d love to know what you think.
