Chart: The Daffodil, Cross Stitch Pattern

A symbol of the return of sunny days, the daffodil brightens up woodlands and gardens at the first signs of spring. With its elegant flowers in luminous hues, it announces the end of winter and brings a touch of freshness and optimism to awakening nature. Much appreciated for its many varieties, it charms as much by the simplicity of its forms as by the richness of its shades, ranging from pale yellow to more sustained tones.

This botanical composition highlights all the delicacy of the daffodil through subtle work of colors and details. The corollas seem to bloom naturally on the canvas while the foliage brings movement and lightness to the whole. True to the spirit of old botanical plates, this embroidery is a magnificent tribute to one of spring's most emblematic flowers.

The model was embroidered on DMC 11 threads/cm off-white linen fabric 3865, worked over 2 warp threads and 2 weft threads. This luminous fabric particularly highlights the vibrant shades of the flowers. This creation can also be made on Aïda 5.5 stitches/cm fabric for similar dimensions.

The charts are printed with symbols and colors (DMC ref.) on 6 pages.

Pattern size: 107 × 105 stitches — approximately 19.5 × 19.1 cm on 11 threads/cm linen or 5.5 pts/cm Aïda. Ideal for a spring botanical picture to frame.
