Bluey Cross Stitch Patterns

I saw someone the other day online looking for Bluey knitting patterns (which I will get to!) but it inspired me to look and see what Bluey cross stitch patterns were available. I admit I don’t know a lot about Bluey since my kid is too old to watch it, but I know a lot of people love it and might want to stitch up these characters.

I found a few different people on Etsy offering Bluey cross stitch patterns, and I couldn’t decide on a single one to share from each of them so they each get two. It’s my page so I can do that LOL.

Abbie Sue Designs has a collection of Bluey patterns that makes the characters look like they are dancing, but, again, I have no context for these. The same designer has a really cute Bluey Christmas cross stitch pattern if you’d like to get a jump on your holiday crafting. This one is 140 by 89 stitches and would be great to make it you decorate a child’s room for Christmas.

Aida Stitch Cottage has a cross stitch pattern of Bluey and Bingo hugging, and also one that is just Bluey and is easier for beginners. This one is just 42 by 62 stitches, and it looks like it uses about six colors, so it shouldn’t be too overwhelming for someone new to cross stitch.

And then there are the patterns from Bagelghost. They have a sweet Heeler family portrait cross stitch pattern is a big one, measuring 15.5 by 13.75 inches when worked on 16 count fabric. It uses 14 colors and is super cute. And then there’s the hilarious “I slipped on my beans!” cross stitch design, which even I vaguely know the back story of even though I’ve never watched the show. This one is 12 by 10 inches on 16 count fabric and uses 13 colors. It’s sure to make your little ones (and everyone else) giggle.

When you put all the time and energy you do into making a great cross stitch project, it’s worth taking the time to frame it in a way that will make it look its best.

Often for smaller designs we’ll choose to frame projects in a hoop, which is cute and a fine option, especially for seasonal projects you might want to change out through the year. Others will send their finished projects for professional framing, which is a great option for gifts and heirloom items that need to be preserved, but it can also be quite expensive.

Crewel Ghoul has a great tutorial for a way that you can easily frame your cross stitch projects at home with just a few supplies.

She uses adhesive mounting board (but you can use non-adhesive board if you have some one hand or you need a size that’s not available in an adhesive version) and a few other basic supplies to secure the sides and corners of the cross stitch fabric around the board before putting the design in the frame.

This requires a bit of hand sewing, but we’re cross stitchers so I’m sure we can handle that.

Framing your cross stitch like this gives it a little padding in the frame, which makes it look better than if it were just flat in a frame with no special finishing. It’s also a great idea to use a frame without glass or to leave the glass out of the frame so it doesn’t crush your stitches.

And though this is super secure it’s not 100 percent permanent if you decide you don’t want the project framed in that way any more. Or you can take it out of the frame and the edges are still all nicely finished so you can display it a different way without having to do anything else to it.
