About these botanical patterns

An antique herbarium plate and a counted chart want the same things: one specimen, centred, drawn flat with a clear outline and no clever lighting. These follow that, and they lean toward the poisonous end of the garden — foxglove, belladonna, hemlock, monkshood, yew.

Alongside them are the quieter things a plate would carry: honesty seedpods, teasel heads, a dandelion clock, a single fern frond, bundles of lavender and sage tied for drying. All on black, which an old plate never had and which suits them far better.

Good beginner work, because a plant is mostly large areas of two or three greens. Whole cross stitch only, symbols in every square so it prints in black and white, and a floss key naming each DMC shade with its skein count.

What you get

  • A counted cross stitch chart with a symbol in every square, so it prints on a black and white printer.
  • A floss key naming real DMC shade numbers, with how many skeins of each to buy.
  • Finished sizes worked out for 14, 16 and 18-count aida.
  • Whole cross stitch only — no backstitch, no fractional stitches, no french knots.
  • A PDF you download the moment you pay. Nothing is posted to you.

Questions about botanical patterns

Are these botanical cross stitch patterns suitable for a beginner?
Yes. Every chart in this collection is whole cross stitch only — no backstitch, no quarter or three-quarter stitches and no french knots. If you can sew one X over one square of aida you can finish any of them. The smaller ones run around a hundred stitches square, which is an evening or two.
What is included in the botanical pattern download?
A PDF the moment you pay: the colour chart, the same chart again in black and white symbols so it prints legibly on any printer, a floss key naming real DMC shade numbers with how many skeins to buy, and the finished size worked out for 14, 16 and 18-count aida.
Do you post anything, or is it digital only?
Digital only. No fabric, floss or hoop is included and nothing is shipped. The download link does not expire, so the file stays available whenever you want it again.
Can I stitch these botanical patterns to sell?
You can stitch them for yourself and as gifts. The pattern itself stays ours — please do not resell, share or redistribute the PDF or the chart.
