Clover Grid is an embroidery pattern of eight separate plants, complete with pink flower heads, trifoliate leaves and fine roots. Dotted columns and tiny stars divide the specimens. Each plant can be worked as a small study within the sheet; the gaps between them keep the arrangement readable when all eight are finished.
About the download
An 18-page English PDF guide accompanies this hand embroidery pattern. It includes a stitch map, motif recipes, working order and technique notes.
Working the design
Keep the roots finer than the foliage and the divider marks smaller than the flower heads; their job is to organise the specimens. The suggested palette contains 11 DMC shades, with colour swatches, codes and strand guidance.

Size and printing
The full design field is 20 × 30 cm (7.87 × 11.81 in), including the unstitched areas in the drawing. This measures the layout, not each motif or the finished textile. Print at 100% / Actual Size with Fit to Page switched off. Check the 5 × 5 cm control square, then use the registration marks to join the four A4 quadrants.
Fabric and preparation
Suggested experience: intermediate. Use medium-weight natural linen or linen-cotton in pale oatmeal, flax or warm ivory. You will also need embroidery cotton, suitable needles, a hoop or frame and a transfer tool suited to your fabric. Leave extra cloth for holding, mounting or sewing. Test stitches and thread colours on a scrap first; screen colours and dye lots vary.
