Free Orange Marigold Cross-Stitch Pattern with DMC Codes

Stitch warm orange marigolds with this free printable cross-stitch pattern. Preview the DMC colors, adjust the palette if needed, and export the finished chart as a PDF.

Keeping ruffled petals clear

Marigold petals layer tightly, so the darker orange stitches are important. Work the shadowed petal folds carefully before filling the brighter areas so the blooms keep their ruffled texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this orange marigold cross-stitch pattern hard to stitch?

It is best for a confident beginner or intermediate stitcher. The petals have layered shading, but the orange and green areas are grouped enough to keep the chart manageable on 14-count Aida.

Which DMC colors are used for the marigold flowers?

Expect bright oranges, golden yellows, deeper warm shadows, and greens for foliage. The exact DMC floss codes and skein estimates are listed in the generated pattern key below.

Can I make the marigold pattern simpler?

Yes. In the editor you can reduce similar orange shades or remove background stitches before downloading the PDF. Keep at least a light, mid, and dark orange so the flower petals still have depth.

Choosing a fabric color

Orange flowers stand out beautifully on white, cream, or pale blue Aida. A warm ivory fabric softens the yellow highlights, while white fabric gives the marigold chart a brighter garden look.
