There is something wonderfully uplifting about a windowsill full of tulips, and this Plants In Pots pattern captures that simple joy beautifully. Three potted pink tulips stand side by side, their blooms open and full of colour against the dark soil and neat green pots.

This design is a lovely choice for anyone who adores spring florals or wants to bring a touch of the garden indoors. Framed on a wall or gifted to a fellow plant lover, the finished piece is sure to raise a smile all year round.

CXC and Sullivans skeins carry the DMC number, so use the DMC column for those brands.

These lengths are a guide. It's worth buying an extra skein or two of your main colours to allow for mistakes and tension differences.

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