10 Poinsettia Christmas Flower Cross Stitch Patterns

It turns out that I really struggle with the spelling of the word Poinsettia. I would have thought after writing this roundup of Cross stitch patterns and charts I would have mastered it, but no, I still keep getting it right. Now I am questioning if I am even saying the word right. We don’t really have Poinsettia flowers here or maybe we do and I just didn’t know, but like the flowers, these patterns were equally hard to find, hence why this list is only a roundup of 10. If you know of some more cross-stitch patterns we should feature let us know by commenting below.

Poinsettias are native to Mexico and did you know they are not always red? A native of southern Mexico, the poinsettia blooms in December and has been used in that country to decorate churches for centuries a Christmas Holiday trend this is becoming popular around the world.

I have never been one who can predict trends, and even when I hear about trends for crafting I don’t always believe them. When I heard ducks and geese were going to be big this year I didn’t totally believe it, but here were are, with duck and goose cross stitch patterns everywhere, not to mention porch geese having a resurgence and these birds showing up in other crafts as well.

So when a wizard goose cross stitch pattern caught my eye, I knew I needed to share it.

It’s not only a wizard goose, but a wizard goose riding a bicycle, announcing their mission to go cause a kerfuffle.

How could I not share that?

The design is from Cross Stitch With Art, and it’s actually not the only one this character features in, but we’ll get to that. This particular design uses six colors and measures 76 by 103 stitches. That’s about 5.5 by 7.5 inches, or 14 by 19 cm, when you stitch it on 14 count fabric. The pattern is great for beginner to intermediate stitchers, as it uses pretty simple shapes and not a lot of colors.

It might also be fun to do the sparkles in a metallic thread, but it’s cute just as it is, too.

If you’re not up for raising a kerfuffle, maybe you’d like another one of this character’s designs. There’s another one on the bike (riding the other direction, so you can make the pair and hang them together) in which the goose is cultivating whimsy. Other designs show the goose holding a candle. One of them is also about whimsy, while another advises to “hang in there it gets worse.”

If you like your geese with a side of magic, snark and whimsy, these patterns are for you. Check them out at Cross Stitch with Art on Etsy.
