Easy Hand Embroidery flower design

Easy Flower Designs and Stitches:

• Simple Daisy (Lazy Daisy Stitch):
  • This is one of the easiest and most common stitches for petals.
  • How to: Bring your needle up at the base of where you want a petal to start. Make a loop with your thread, then go back down almost in the same spot, keeping the loop on top of the fabric. Bring your needle up a short distance away from the first hole (at the “tip” of your petal), securing the loop. Go back down right next to where you came up to secure the stitch. Repeat for each petal.
  • Center: Use a French Knot or a few straight stitches for the center.
• Woven Wheel Rose:
  • Creates a beautiful, textured rose.
  • How to: First, make an odd number (5 or 7 works well) of straight stitches radiating out from a central point, like spokes of a wheel. Then, bring your needle up in the center. Weave your needle over and under each “spoke” stitch, going in a circular motion. Don’t go through the fabric again until you’ve woven enough to create the desired rose size. When finished, push your needle down through the fabric to secure.
  • Tip: Use a blunt needle (like a tapestry needle) for the weaving part to avoid splitting the “spokes.”
• French Knot Flowers (small, clustered flowers like lavender or hydrangeas):
  • French knots are perfect for creating small, rounded textures.
  • How to: Bring your needle up through the fabric. Wrap the thread around your needle two or three times (more wraps for a larger knot). Guide the needle back down very close to where you came up (but not in the exact same hole, or the knot might pull through). Pull the thread through to create a knot on the surface.
  • Design: You can make individual French knots as tiny flowers, or cluster them together to form a fuller bloom.
• Straight Stitch Flowers (simple petals):
  • For very basic, minimalist flowers.
  • How to: Simply make straight stitches radiating out from a central point for petals.
  • Center: Add a French Knot or small circle of satin stitches.
• Satin Stitch Leaves/Petals (filling in shapes):
  • Great for solid, smooth petals or leaves.
  • How to: Draw your leaf or petal shape. Make parallel stitches that go from one edge of the shape to the other, filling it in completely. Keep your stitches close together and even for a smooth finish.
