Stitch a red and yellow tulip bouquet with this free printable cross-stitch pattern. The chart includes DMC floss colors, fabric sizing, and an editable preview before PDF export.
Tulip bouquets can blur when warm colors sit close together. Keep the deeper red and golden yellow stitch groups distinct so each flower head remains visible inside the bouquet.

Real examples
StitchBitz turns the colours and shapes in a picture into a counted grid using real DMC floss shades. Open any example to inspect the chart, materials, and editable pattern.
Built for real projects
A useful photo-to-cross-stitch pattern maker needs to do more than pixelate an image. It should simplify the picture, map it to real thread colours, and leave you in control of the final chart.
Every generated colour is matched to a DMC thread code, so the chart maps to floss you can actually buy and stitch with.
Stitchability controls smooth noisy areas and reduce isolated confetti stitches while keeping the subject recognisable.
Your photo is processed on your device. It is not sent to StitchBitz or stored on a server.
Adjust colours, remove stitches, add backstitch detail, and check the floss list before exporting a PDF or JPG.
Better source, better chart
You can turn any image into a cross stitch pattern, but a few simple choices make the finished chart cleaner and easier to recognise.
Pets, portraits, flowers, ornaments, and simple objects usually translate more cleanly than a crowded scene.
A well-lit subject that stands apart from its background is easier to simplify into distinct thread colours.
Frame the part you care about first. A tighter crop gives the available stitches to the subject instead of empty space.
Good to know
The short version: it is free, private, editable, and designed to produce the files you need to start stitching.

It is best for a confident beginner or intermediate stitcher. The tulip heads are bold and readable, but the bouquet has several flower shapes and color changes to count carefully.
The tulips use red, yellow, orange, and shadow tones, with greens for stems and pale shades for the vase. The exact DMC floss codes and skein estimates are listed below.
Yes. Use the editor to swap DMC colors, simplify the bouquet palette, or match thread you already own before downloading the printable tulip bouquet chart.
The dark backdrop makes the tulips pop. Stitching on black or charcoal Aida can reduce background coverage, while white Aida gives a fuller illustrated chart.
