A free cross stitch pattern of a single yellow daffodil with a deep gold trumpet, on a tall stem with two curving leaves. Rated Beginner: 1,796 full cross stitches in 13 DMC colors, finishing at 3.4" x 5.8" on 14-count Aida.
Your pattern is at the end of this page, right after the stitching guide below.
One bloom faces outward with its petals swept back around a ruffled trumpet in deeper gold. A long stem and two green leaves curve away below it, and everything has a black outline, so the flower looks bold and graphic rather than soft.
Daffodils are the flower of the first warm weeks of the year, which makes this a natural Easter or spring gift that feels seasonal without eggs or bunnies. Its tall, narrow shape also suits a slim frame or a bookmark-sized panel. The floral collection has more spring flowers, and the Tulip makes a good partner.
It’s rated Beginner and makes a good first flower. Black, Lemon and Golden Yellow – Very Light cover more than half the design, and the rest are small accents. At 1,796 stitches, expect roughly 20 to 30 hours at a steady 60 to 100 stitches an hour.
If you’re new to charts, our guide to reading a cross stitch pattern explains the symbols and color key.
On 14-count Aida the finished design measures 3.4“ x 5.8“ (8.6 x 14.7 cm). On 16-count it comes out at 3.0“ x 5.1“, and on 18-count at 2.7“ x 4.5“. For the 14-count version, an 8“ x 10“ frame leaves room for a mat.
It also fits a 6-inch hoop, and a pale green or yellow fabric would make the flower feel even more like spring.

Each of the three bells is shaded in a slightly different blue, so they read as separate flowers rather than a repeated shape, and a bold black outline holds the whole design together.
