Pattern description

The Welsh daffodil bursts from its verdant stem in cheerful golden-yellow petals that radiate outward like rays of spring sunshine. This 73x73 stitch counted cross-stitch pattern captures the trumpet bloom at its peak, rendered in crisp, clean colors that command attention against a neutral background. The composition emphasizes vertical movement, with the sturdy green stem grounding the delicate floral crown above.

At intermediate skill level, this 19-color DMC pattern offers engaging variety without overwhelming complexity, making it ideal for stitchers ready to expand their palette control. The bold color blocking—bright yellows contrasting sharply against rich greens—creates striking definition that emerges beautifully as you work each section on Aida fabric. Finished at roughly 5x5 inches depending on fabric count, this cheerful motif makes a wonderful springtime gift or seasonal home accent, perfect for brightening kitchen corners or framed as a miniature botanical study.

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.
