About this design
One flower on a long stem with two leaves — the smallest design in the library, and the one to use when you want to practise a single bloom before committing to a full bouquet.
Best after one finished hoop
This design uses 7 stitches and two of them need a little practice.
Before you start
- Scale is the whole exercise here: the petals are wide open, so satin stitch needs to follow the petal's curve rather than run straight across.
- Leave the stem for last; it is the easiest line to keep straight once the flower has fixed the scale.
The pattern sheet
What you print: one A4 page.
The finished hoop above was stitched from this sheet. Print the file at 100% and the design comes out at its real size — the sheet already carries the pattern dimensions and the DMC colour numbers, so there is nothing to work out before you start.

Common questions
Before you download it.
Do I need to know any stitches before I start?
No. The design uses 7 stitches — stem stitch tutorial, back stitch tutorial, straight stitch tutorial, pistil stitch tutorial, satin stitch tutorial, fishbone stitch tutorial and open fishbone stitch tutorial — and the video works through each one from the first loop.
Is there a video tutorial for this pattern?
Yes — it runs 3:17 and is split into 8 timestamped chapters, listed above. Each chapter jumps straight to the part of the video where that stitch is worked.
Can I get this design as a kit instead of a printable pattern?
This page is the free A4 pattern only. ETSPIL kits ship a design pre-printed on the fabric with threads, hoop and a bound manual, so there is nothing to transfer — the kit range sits on our Amazon storefront.
