Bee cross stitch patterns: a bee on honeycomb, a straw skep, bees and lavender

Bee charts are stitched for kitchens, gardens and gifts, often by people who keep bees. This pack has three scenes: a honeybee on golden honeycomb, a straw skep among flowers, and three bees round a sprig of lavender. Each comes as a classic counted chart, an antique sampler inside a stitched border, and a bold modern version. Type another flower or setting, such as a sunflower or a kitchen, and the same styles carry it.

Frequently asked questions

What are the nine pictures?

Three bee scenes, each in three styles: a bee on honeycomb, a straw skep and bees around lavender, as classic charts, antique samplers and bold modern charts.

What is the difference between the three styles?

The classic chart uses small X stitches on a visible grid in eight to twelve thread colours. The antique sampler uses muted thread colours inside a stitched border. The bold modern version uses saturated flat colours and simplified shapes.

Can I ask for a different flower or setting?

Yes. Type a subject or a setting in the direction field and the three styles are applied to it. What you type is a request, so the picture may differ from the samples.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
