Tulips bring timeless elegance to any needlework project, and this counted cross stitch pattern captures their graceful beauty in vibrant detail. With a generous 140 × 140 stitch count, you'll create a substantial finished piece that showcases the delicate curves and bold colors of these beloved spring flowers. The design incorporates 24 DMC thread colors, offering wonderful opportunities to blend hues and create depth across the petals, stems, and leaves. Stitching this pattern provides an engaging and immersive experience as you watch the tulips gradually emerge from your Aida fabric, row by row.
This intermediate-level pattern suits stitchers who have mastered the basics and are ready for a project with increased color complexity and moderate stitch density.

Whether you're creating a framed embroidery, a decorative pillow, or a cherished gift, this tulip pattern delivers professional-looking results for dedicated needleworkers.
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.
