Pattern description
Flower is an ideal counted cross stitch pattern for needleworkers who love botanical motifs and want to create a charming, finished piece quickly. This delightful design features a 31 × 31 stitch count, making it compact enough to complete in an afternoon or two while still offering satisfying detail. The pattern uses just 6 DMC thread colors, which keeps your embroidery supplies simple and allows you to focus on the stitching itself. The color palette creates a lovely interplay of shades that brings dimension to the floral subject, resulting in a polished needlework piece that looks far more complex than its straightforward construction suggests.
Perfect for beginners exploring counted cross stitch for the first time, Flower comes as a free printable PDF chart complete with clear DMC color keys. The small stitch count and limited color palette make it an excellent project for learning consistent tension and basic embroidery techniques on 14-count Aida fabric. Whether you're framing your finished work, using it as a bookmark, or gifting it to a fellow stitcher, this pattern delivers professional-looking results without requiring advanced needlework experience or extensive time investment.
Stitch planning checklist
- Measure your fabric against the stitch count to confirm finished size.
- Sort floss by symbol before you start; pre-thread a few needles for speed.
- Work in small blocks to keep counting accurate and spot mistakes early.
- Backstitch at the end of each session so outlines stay crisp.
