Nature & PlantsBeginner9 colours19 hours of stitching

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 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, Dimensions, Gamma, Luca-S, PNK Kirov, Sullivans and Unitas. Pick your brand when you start the project.
