All You Need is Love Cross Stitch Pattern

by

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!

Cross Stitch Ice Cream and Frozen Treats

Summer is the time for sweet treats, whether eating them or stitching them. This collection of patterns is full of designs that are good enough to eat. Almost. 

This year of ice creams from Simone Balman Art is lots of fun, and you could also stitch up these treats individually if you’d rather. The full piece is 210 by 300 stitches, though it’s not full coverage. It uses 25 colors and comes out to 13.6 by 20.1 inches, or 34.5 by 51.2 cm, as shown on 14 count fabric. 

These mini Popsicles from Mariana Gonclaves ART as super sweet and quick to stitch. These would also be a fun border to another summer project. The full design is 43 by 46 stitches, which is 3.1 by 3.3 inches, or 7.8 by 8.3 cm, on 14 count fabric. 

Sam X Stitch has this fun sweet treat sampler, which again would be fun to stitch as individual pieces (maybe on napkins?). In all it calls for 18 colors and measures 153 by 153 stitches. That comes out to 10.93 inches or 27.75 cm on 14 count fabric. 

Another great sampler is this one with ice cream and other sweet treats from Cute Patterns by Maria. At 119 by 132 stitches total, working the full pattern would be about 8.6 by 9.4 inches, or 22 by 24 cm on 14 count fabric, and it uses 33 colors. You can also stitch individual designs, which range in height from 35 to 45 stitches, and in width from 11 to 28. 

This collection of four sundae patterns from Stichrovia would be fun to make for a kitchen or a teen’s room. Each pattern is around 40 by 50 stitches, so they should fit in a four or five inch hoop if worked on 14 count fabric. 

Or stitch up one of the treats from Stitch Chart Studio‘s collection of seven ice cream cross stitch patterns. These range in size and in number of colors needed, but most would fit in a five or six in hoop (and one in a four inch hoop).
