Barbie Cross Stitch Patterns

Everything’s coming up pink this summer, and if you’re a Barbie girl or guy you might want to stitch up some fun Barbie cross stitch patterns to celebrate.

Did you know Barbie was first released on March 9, 1959, and sold 300,000 dolls in her first year? She was inspired by the German doll Bild Lilli and developed by Ruth Handler because she saw a gap in the market for a more adult-looking doll, since most dolls at that time were babies.

This simple Barbie logo from My Cross Stitch Patterns is a classic for your playroom or anywhere else that needs a little Barbie boost. It’s worked in a single color and measures 120 by 60 stitches.

Or make the “Come on Barbie Let’s Go Party” design from Zodiac Stitch on Etsy. This one is 200 by 181 stitches and uses just one color and only full cross stitches, so it’s a good one for someone new to cross stitch.

If you want to make your own words in Barbie style, check out this Barbie-inspired font designed by Cherub Birks and available on Etsy. Make a design with your name or your favorite Barbie fan’s name for a unique gift.

Mixed Plate 8oh8 on Etsy has the Barbie silhouette pattern with a pink circle behind the head (you could also just stitch the black part if you don’t want all the pink, but who doesn’t want all the pink?). It’s 79 by 83 stitches and uses three colors.

Go classic Barbie with this vintage Barbie in her iconic black and white swimsuit. The design is from Etsy seller Eccentric Avenue and is 8 by 6 inches when worked on 18 count fabric.

This Barbie mini movie poster cross stitch pattern would be so cute as a patch on your jacket or bag. It comes from Needle Pop Crafts on Etsy and is a mere 22 by 33 stitches, or 1.6 by 2.4 inches on 14 count fabric and it uses six colors. You can stitch it up before you see the movie!

Christmas Ornament Cross Stitch Patterns

The other day I shared some cross stitch patterns with ornaments on them, so this time around I wanted to share cross stitch patterns that you can use as ornaments. It would be fun to do a whole tree in your craft room with cross stitch ornaments, or just add a few to your tree or give them as gifts.

These little quilt inspired cross stitch patterns from Flamingo Toes look like ornaments and fit in 3-inch hoops, which are perfect for hanging on the tree or using to decorate a gift. I love the pastel colors on these but you can use more traditional Christmas colors if you like.

This cute Christmas tree from Lagodargetoshop uses a single color and fits in a 4-inch hoop, but you could make it smaller if you wanted by trimming the last ornaments and gifts from the sides, or just stitch the tree without any other embellishments. Either way it’s a cute addition to your holiday tree.

Stitched Modern has a super cute collection of retro Christmas ornament cross stitch patterns from designer Gera. This is a printed pattern that will be shipped to you. Each pattern is about 40 by 56 stitches, or 2.9 by 4 inches/7.4 by 10 cm on 14 count fabric. To work the whole set you’ll need 20 colors of floss.

These snowflake ornaments from Our Little Handmade Home are each about 2.5 inches/6.4 cm when stitched on 14 count fabric, and they use a single color of floss. They are pretty in red but you could also do white on a blue or black background, or whatever suits your other Christmas tree decorations!

From the description it sounds like this set of vintage style cross stitch characters is presented as one large chart, but the photo from Sampler Antique Stitch shows each of them stitched up as their own little ornament, so it gets included here. You’ll find Santa and snowmen in different poses in this cute collection.
