12 Christmas Santas To Cross Stitch

This roundup of Cross stitch charts and patterns is all about cross-stitching a Santa clause. I know Christmas can be represented in so many different ways, but a traditional styled Holiday Santa is still one of my favorite ways to depict Christmas for me.

I have included 12 Santa Cross stitch patterns for you to embroider, paid and free ones are included in this pattern list.

My favorite Cross stitch embroidery pattern has to be the Sweet Santa face as it reminds me of a light-up Santa head we had growing up, it was jolly and traditional looking just like this cross stitch pattern. Maybe I can add a light to his nose and travel back down memory lane. Do you have a Christmas decoration from your childhood that sticks in your mind? Do you still have it?

I’ve long had a soft spot for puffins, so of course when I found an Etsy shop called Murder Puffin I had to share it.

And I’m so glad I found it because they’ve got some weird stuff that I hope you’re going to like as much as I do.

There are cryptids and true crime, nautical themed designs, holiday wanted posters and an entire section called memento mori. So if that sounds like something you’d be into, read on.

The biggest section on the site, though, is Altoid tin cross stitch patterns. If you can’t quite imagine what an Altoid tin cross stitch pattern would be like, this mummy cross stitch tin is a pretty representative example.

Most of them have a character (in this case, the mummy, but it could be anything from an alien to a racoon to a gnome) or more than one, who is made into a tiny stuffed doll. There’s a design for the top and bottom inside of the tin; here it’s a pyramid and an anhk design. There’s also a small design for the top of the box. And finally, a kind of blanket and a pillow so you can tuck your little character into the box.

Each one is a cute little set that would be so fun to display (and play with!) on your desk or bookshelf. And there’s a great range of options to choose from.

In addition to those, you’ll find a lot of other fun stuff for the strange and unusual on your gift list. There are some delightfully creepy (and mostly cryptid-inspired) tarot cards. A whole set of dark samplers called Gothic murder family. And a section called potted cross stitch, with little designs like mushrooms, plants and pumpkins you can stitch up and “plant” in tiny pots.

There’s so much fun stuff you really just need to stop reading this and go visit Murder Puffin on Etsy. I hope you find it as delightful as I do!
