Few flowers announce the arrival of spring quite like the daffodil, and this delightful design captures their bright, uplifting character beautifully. Three blooms rise on slender stems, their golden petals rendered with a warmth that feels genuinely alive.

Whether you are stitching for yourself or creating something to give, this pattern is a lovely choice for anyone who appreciates botanical needlework with a cheerful, seasonal feel. It would look wonderful framed and hung somewhere it can catch the light.

CXC and Sullivans skeins carry the DMC number, so the codes above cover them too.

These lengths include the thread lost to tails and travelling, so they are what to buy rather than what ends up on the fabric. A spare skein of your main colours is still worth having, because dye lots vary between batches and matching one part way through is the hard part.

HobbyTub also converts to Ariadna, CXC, Gamma, Luca-S and Sullivans. Pick your brand when you start the project.
