Pattern description
Stitching tulips offers a rewarding way to capture the delicate charm of spring flowers through counted cross stitch. This 90 × 90 stitch design brings together elegant botanical elements that create a balanced, satisfying needlework project. The pattern uses 20 DMC thread colors to achieve subtle depth and realistic shading across the tulip petals and stems.

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.
