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.

One of the easiest ways to make a cross stitch project more personal is to add text to it. Whether you’re adding the names of people getting married to a generic floral cross stitch design, birth information to a project on theme with the new baby’s room or just adding a word or phrase that’s meaningful to you, adding words to cross stitch projects make them that much more special.

But if you’re not working with a project that already has text built in, or you want to change the text that’s there, that can feel a little daunting.

Caterpillar Cross Stitch has a great guide to adding names and words (as well as numbers) to projects, which talks you through what to consider and how to actually go about adding text to a cross stitch project successfully.

You’ll need to think about what kind of font you want to use and if you’re using back stitched letters or larger filled letters, how much space you need and how the letters work together in the text you’re planning to make sure it’s readable.

Their post includes common pitfalls such as running out a space or ending up with text that’s off center and how to avoid them (spoiler: chart out your text before you stitch!).

The whole post is really helpful if you’ve never added lettering to a project before and don’t know where to start. I like to use block letters in back stitch when learning how to add text to cross stitch, but of course there are tons of lettering options. Check out this collection of cross stitch fonts if you want to see some different things you can try.

And head over to Caterpillar Cross Stitch to get more tips for how to successfully add lettering to your cross stitch projects. They also have their own alphabet and number charts you can buy to add text to your stitching.

Have you ever added text to a cross stitch project? I’d love to hear how it went!
