Spring crocuses

To celebrate the first day of spring here in the UK, this dinky piece is full of crocuses, one of the earliest flowers here to pop up their heads to see if the Winter has passed.

This design contains all whole stitches. There are some diagonal stitches, but guidance on how to do these is given with the chart (it is very simple, you just get slightly longer stitches in places, but they allow the design to curve and flow) There is also some graduation, but again, this is nothing to be afraid of, just follow the chart as you usually would :)

Shown here stitched in mono, this chart would also look great in colour I think.

Design size in stitches 84 x 84

On 14 count this is approx 15 x 15 cm (6 x 6 inches), on 16 count 13.5 x 13.5 cm (5.25 x 5.25 inches) & on 18 count 12 x 12 cm (4.5 x 4.5 inches).
