I learned to embroider when I was a kid, when everyone was really into cross stitch (remember the '80s?). Eventually, I migrated to surface embroidery, teaching myself with whatever I could get my hands on...read more

Embroidery Pattern: Pretty Daisies

 

Amazon Books

Here’s a simple flower embroidery pattern. The design is suitable for different line stitches. It could be outlined in one color, or several colors. This would be a good pattern for beginners to get some practice outlining around curves. Try a variety of line stitches – stem stitch, couching, whipped back stitch or running stitch – to create a textured look, as well as to get in some good practice on a pretty pattern. This would look nice centered in the middle of a hand towel. Any other ideas on how to use it? Feel free to share!

  1. Thanks so much for this daisy pattern. I love its old-fashioned simplicity. I appreciate your other patterns as well. Please keep them coming as it is so very hard to find patterns like these online.

  2. This is a great design. I’m actually looking for a motif to do some needle felting and I think this will be perfect!

  4. Hello there,

    I have a silly question. This is my first time looking into stitching a pattern. My question is, how can i get this pattern of cloth?

    1. Hi, Karol – the easiest way is to trace it, using a sunny window. Tape the pattern to a window and put your cloth over it, and then trace it slowly and lightly with a pencil. If you search “embroidery design transfer” here on Needle ‘n Thread, there are several articles with information on how to transfer a pattern, or you can look under “tips and techniques” in the main menu. Hope that helps!

  5. I am planning on using this pattern on the back of a shirt centered on the bottom with the “daisies” pattern you have going around the rest of the edge. I think it will turn out nicely, the shirt is light cotton, do you think it will looked warped if I did this much embroidery to it?

    1. Hi, Marie – This is one of my older patterns, which I didn’t convert to a PDF. You can right click on the design and save it to your computer and print it from there.
