Flower Embroidery Patterns
Embroidery flowers are the most stitched subject of all, and for good reason: petals and leaves work with only a few basic stitches, and a single bloom already fills a small hoop. This collection gathers our floral hand embroidery patterns: roses, wildflowers, daisies, blossoming branches, berries and a winter bouquet with pine cones. A few floral designs, such as Vintage Roses, are free.
Stitches for flowers
Most flowers to embroider use the same small set of stitches: satin stitch for smooth petals, long and short stitch for shaded petals, lazy daisy stitch for quick five-petal flowers, French knots for centres and stem stitch for stalks. Our flower embroidery guide covers birth month flowers and the stitches each one needs.
Ideas for floral embroidery
Flowers sit well on almost anything: hoop art, a cushion corner, a tote bag or the pocket of a denim jacket. Many of our animal patterns also include flowers, such as a bee on a bloom or a fox among poppies, so browse the insect and woodland collections too.
