About this pattern
Violets are such modest, sweet little flowers, and their heart-shaped leaves feel just right for February. This posy has six violets in three shades of purple with golden centers, tied with a lavender bow above the word February.
It uses 8 DMC colors. The violets are small, satisfying motifs, and the leaves are simple solid shapes, so it moves along nicely while still looking delicate.
It's a lovely handmade birthday present for a February baby, a Valentine's-season gift, or a keepsake for anyone who loves purple.
Every design in my Birth Flowers series shares the same layout: a small tied posy with a ribbon bow and the month name underneath, about 3.6 x 5.7 inches on 14 count Aida (50 x 80 stitches). They frame beautifully in a 5 x 7 inch frame, and you can leave the month name off if you'd like just the flowers. I'd stitch it on antique white Aida.
You'll get a color chart, a black and white chart, a large-print chart and a Pattern Keeper compatible PDF, plus a DMC floss key and a how-to-start page.
