All You Need is Love Cross Stitch Pattern

I don’t know why, but it feels like it’s been a long time since I’ve shared any free cross stitch patterns. I guess it’s just easy to search on Etsy when I’m looking for particular things and not take the time to scroll and embrace the randomness of looking on Pinterest or at random saved links.

But I was wandering around recently and found a link for The World In Stitches, which has a great collection of free cross stitch patterns you’ll want to check out.

One that caught my eye for the season we’re heading into is this All You Need is Love design. It was meant to be for spring but I think it would be lovely for Valentine’s Day as well.

It features cute 3D block lettering and is embellished with flowers, plant life and birds. I love the kind of retro looking colors of this one (which looks great with that font choice) but you can use any colors you like. If you were making it for Valentine’s Day you could add more pinks and reds, though there’s already a fair bit of pink here.

The pattern measures 82 by 114 stitches. That comes out to 5.13 by 7.13 inches, or 13.02 by 18.1 cm when stitched on 16 count fabric. As stitched it calls for 7 colors. It looks like it only uses full cross stitches, but there is quite a lot of back stitching so if you don’t like that you might want to skip this one.

Head to The World in Stitches to get a copy of this pattern, and scroll through to see more of their free cross stitch patterns. There’s lots of seasonal and holiday content if you like that sort of thing.

Also, let me know if the comments if you’ve got a favorite source or two for free cross stitch patterns, and I’ll try to share more of them!

I Love You Cross Stitch

Love Word Art Cross Stitch Pattern

These backpack cross stitch patterns aren’t like the backpacks you would use for school, but they might inspire you to go on a different sort of adventure, and pack your sense of humor.

When it comes to funny cross stitch, this Adventure Awaits rubber ducky cross stitch pattern from Relaxing Hobby Studio is super cute. It uses nine colors and measures 52 by 75 stitches, which comes out to about 3.8 by 5.4 inches, or 9.7 by 13.8 cm, on 14 count fabric.

I also love this little pigeon adventurer from Happy Cross Stitchers. Actually, with hoodie and sneakers this pigeon does look like he’s ready for school! This one measures 88 by 138 stitches and uses 13 colors. On 14 count fabric it comes out to about 6.2 by 9.8 inches, or 15.97 by 25.04 cm.

This sleepy cat is ready for an adventure as soon as they wake up from their nap. This sweet design from MoonLit Patterns features a kitty curled up on a backpack and wearing a knight’s helmet. This project uses 19 colors and measures 130 by 130 stitches. That makes it about 9.3 inches square, or 23.6 cm, when stitched on 14 count fabric.

Or stitch up this backpack filled with flowers from Owl and Thread. This looks like just the bag you’d want to have for a walk in the forest or a spring meadow. The design is 71 by 90 stitches and uses 32 colors. On 14 count fabric it comes out to about 5 by 6.4 inches, or 12.9 16.3 cm.

I also like this kind of watercolor look girl with a backpack pattern from StitchALong Studios. You can change the color of hair and clothes as you like. As shown it uses 20 colors and is 90 by 132 stitches. That’s 6.375 by 9.375 inches, or 16 by 24 cm, if you work on 14 count fabric.

If you’re looking for a design with more of a fall or winter look, check out this girl with a backpack wearing a hat and coat from GlamourXStitch. At 150 by 150 stitches, this one uses 26 colors. It comes out to 10.71 inches, or 27.2 cm, on 14 count fabric.
