Bluey Cross Stitch Patterns

by

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.

Designer Spotlight: Stitching Elf Store

Stitching Elf Store is a small Etsy shop based in Ukraine with patterns that tend toward the floral, with lots of Christmas patterns and a few cats along the way, too. 

The largest category in the shop is “flowery pattern,” which includes floral designs, samplers and a few seasonal projects with text. I liked this Enchanted Poppies design because it reminds me of the colors of Ukraine. 

The pattern is 68 by 145 stitches and uses 24 colors, thanks to the kind of watercolor effect of the petals and leaves. On 14 count fabric it comes out to 4.9 by 10.4 inches, or 12.3 by 26.3 cm. 

Another large collection is Christmas patterns, which is heavy on sampler style designs, a couple of Christmas trees with different designs in the layers, some Christmas-themed biscornu patterns and a stocking with a chat and a bird on it. 

Other pattern highlights include a scattering of Valentine’s Day, Halloween, St. Patrick’s Day and Easter patterns. The simply flowers series includes large, graphic flowers in bold colors. There are two sampler projects with a bird and a cat along with traditional flowers, and the purr cats patterns include larger cats with big, fluffy tails and more big, bold flowers. 

I particularly like the St. Patrick’s Day designs that feature shamrocks and thistles and Irish blessings. They’re traditional looking but also different enough to be interesting, if that makes sense. 

You’ll also find a few more biscornu patterns (see more about biscornu here) and a couple of Ukrainian floral bookmarks. 

The patterns are pretty, with a mix of traditional designs and more modern designs. Give them a look over at Stitching Elf Store on Etsy. 

Do you have a favorite cross stitch designer (or design patterns yourself) who should be in the spotlight? Let me know by leaving a comment with their shop link and a little bit about why you love them.
