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
I wanted to let you know that I have a new freebie for halloween.
