Acorn Cross Stitch Patterns

After doing a post on fall leaf cross stitch patterns, I thought it would be cute to share some acorn cross stitch patterns, too. There’s definitely not as many options when it comes to acorn designs (especially those that don’t also include leaves) but here are a few to get you started.

If you want a basic no frills acorn cross stitch pattern, it’s this one from Luzatolye on Etsy. Using just two colors and a stitch area of 9 by 12 stitches, you can stitch this one up in just a few minutes to use as a greeting card or on linen, or use a bunch of them as a border for another project.

Daily Cross Stitch has a repeating pattern of easy acorns that you can use to fill a frame, or pick out a single one to use by itself. As shown the pattern is 80 by 80 stitches, or 5.71 inches square, and uses three colors.

This botanical acorn done in black and white threads from Cross Stitch Obsessed would be a perfect fit for adding a rustic touch to modern decor. It measures 90 by 114 stitches, which comes out to 6 and 3/8 by 8 3/8 inches, or 16.2 by 21.3 cm on 14 count fabric. It uses three colors.

If you want a simple project that includes leaves with the acorn, this one form Wistful Bird is a good choice. It uses just four colors and fits in a 4-inch hoop, and you could just stitch the acorn if you don’t wan to add the leaves.

I also like this oak branch with leaves for a project with a more realistic look. The design comes from Mason Art Maison and is about 200 by 200 stitches. It uses 11 colors.

Looking for more acorn cross stitch patterns? Here’s another cute one with an acorn and a bird I shared a few years ago.

Inkspire Studio Shops offers cross stitch patterns as well as tons of different stitch minders, scissor charms and thread organization tools.

We’ll get to all that, but since we’re mostly here for the patterns, let’s start there.

All of the patterns are in one category (called Inkspire Originals if you’re following along). There are a lot of book-themed projects and more of the designs are bookmarks than anything else. You’ll find trope bookmarks, a Reading Rainbow themed design, flowers and a super cute watercolor set bookmark, to name a few.

And while the book themed projects are by far the most numerous, I wanted to share this super cute pile of vintage Pyrex style bowls. I love the colors on this one and it should be easy to stitch because so much of it is blocks (or bowls) of a single color. This one is only available as a printed pattern, but most of them are digital.

It calls for six colors and comes out 5.6 by 6.9 inches, or 14.2 by 17.5 cm when stitched on 14 count fabric.

In addition to the bookmarks and book themed projects you’ll find a few kitchen projects and some Halloween and Christmas designs as well.

But what this shop is really about is needle minders, and there are tons of them, with all kinds of themes ranging from introverted and snarky to animal themes, food and beverages, retro designs and religious and inspiring needle minders.

If you don’t know about needle minders, these are acrylic with magnets. You stick a magnet to the back of your work, add the needle minder to the front of the work, and then it holds your sewing needle when you’re not stitching. No need for piercing your fabric or losing your needle between stitching sessions.

She also makes charms you can attach to your scissors (or use as a stitch marker if you’re a knitter or crocheter), inventory and project trackers and bags large and small to hold works in progress and other supplies. She’s also got a great collection of vintage cross stitch patterns and kits, so check out all the fun goodies at Inkspired Studio Shops.
