Here's a detailed guide for replicating this embroidery by hand:

🧵 Materials Needed

• Fabric: Cream or natural linen/cotton
• Embroidery hoop: 6–8 inches (as shown)
• Thread: DMC Cotton Embroidery Floss in B5200 (Bright White) or Ecru for a softer look
• Needles: Embroidery needle (size 7 or 8)
• Scissors, fabric pencil, and lightbox (optional) for tracing

🧶 Stitch & Color Guide

🌹 1. Large Roses

• Stitch Used: Woven Rose (also called Spider Web Rose)
• Thread: DMC B5200

• Steps:

• Mark a small circle for the center and five evenly spaced anchor points around it.

• Use straight stitches to create a star (spokes).
• Weave the floss over and under the spokes without pulling tight.
• Fill the rose until it’s lush and rounded.

🌼 2. Small Daisies

• Stitch Used: Lazy Daisy Stitch (Detached Chain Stitch)
• Thread: DMC B5200

• Steps:

• Bring the needle up at the base of a petal.

• Insert it at the same hole and reemerge at the petal tip while catching the loop with your needle.
• Anchor each petal with a tiny straight stitch.
• Use French knots (1 or 2 wraps) for the flower centers.

🍃 3. Leaves

• Stitch Used: Fishbone Stitch for large leaves; Satin Stitch or Straight Stitch for small ones
• Thread: DMC B5200

• Steps:

• For Fishbone: Start with a center stitch, then alternate angled stitches from left to right toward the vein.

• For Satin: Use parallel stitches across the leaf, ensuring smooth tension.

🌿 4. Stems and Branches

• Stitch Used: Stem Stitch
• Thread: DMC B5200

• Steps:

• Use short, slightly overlapping stitches.

• Always keep the floss on the same side (e.g., below the needle) to maintain a smooth curve.

📝 Embroidery Order

1. Trace the floral wreath outline onto the fabric.
2. Start with stems, so they sit behind the flowers and leaves.
3. Next, embroider all leaves.
4. Embroider roses last for fullness.
5. Add small daisies and final French knots to complete.

💡 Tips

• Use 3 strands of floss for most elements (roses, leaves).
• For extra texture, use all 6 strands for the woven roses.
• Keep your tension even; too tight will pucker the fabric.
