Pattern description
A cheerful spray of sunny daffodils rendered in classic counted cross stitch, this 93 x 93 stitch pattern captures the essence of spring blooms. The composition features multiple yellow flowers at varying heights clustered around slender green stems, creating a naturally graceful vertical arrangement that works beautifully as a small framed piece or addition to a larger needlework project.
Stitched with just eight DMC thread colors, this intermediate-level pattern balances simplicity with visual impact through its bold contrast between bright yellow petals and rich forest-green foliage. The design works perfectly on 14-count Aida fabric, offering an engaging project that builds confidence in color blending and petal shaping techniques. Whether creating a cheerful spring gift or adding garden-inspired décor to a cottage bedroom, this daffodil motif brings timeless botanical charm to any needlework collection.
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.
