Autumn Littles Cross Stitch Pattern Bundle

September 12, 2022 by Sarah White

In the rush to get to Halloween we can often forget that decorating just for fall is nice. These autumn littles cross stitch patterns from Waxing Moon Designs are the perfect way to ease into fall decorating if you don’t want to go full-on Halloween as soon as the calendar turns.

In this set you’ll find sweet animals doing fall chores such as a fox raking leaves or a squirrel picking apples. There are others that just include cute animals and fall produce, and there’s even a turkey you can keep up to decorate for Thanksgiving.

Each design is 46 stitches square, or 3.25 inches on 14 count fabric. They’d be so cute in individual frames or worked a little hanging pillows as show, or mount them on greeting cards, stitch on fabric, the possibilities are endlessly adorable.

You can buy this set of six cross stitch patterns from Waxing Moon Designs on Etsy.

Pencil Bookmark Cross Stitch Pattern

To celebrate back to school season, I wanted to make a fun and useful cross stitch pattern, so I decided on this cross stitch pencil bookmark. 

It’s a really easy pattern even though it calls for six colors. You definitely don’t have to use all the colors if you don’t want to, and you can use different colors to make a colored pencil instead of the traditional yellow one. 

These sorts of projects always end up taking longer than I imagined they would in my head, because I just don’t stop to do the math of exactly how many stitches are in a piece that’s 23 stitches by 74 rows (1,702, though not every single one of them is covered, most of them are). 

But because the coloring of the chart is so straightforward, I’d say it also doesn’t take as long as 1,700 stitches sounds, if that makes sense. Because you barely have to count anything and could make most of it without consulting the chart, you can get into a groove pretty easily and stitch whole sections in a single sitting. I had a lot of fun stitching this one and I think you will, too. 

Once the stitching is done, take a piece of felt and sew it to the back to hide the mess you’ve made and make it a nice smooth bookmark that’s easy to use in whatever book you might be reading. 

This is a fun one to make for yourself or a kid in your life who is going back to school. But it would also be a fun teacher appreciation gift or holiday gift, especially for an English teacher but really anyone would like this one I think. 

You can grab the free chart and get all the instructions for assembling your own cross stitch pencil bookmark over at Our Daily Craft.
